  text: Plants undergo alternation of generation in which reproductive cells develop
    in the plant body ("sporophytic generation") and then differentiate into a multicellular
    gamete-forming "gametophytic generation." Different populations of helper cells
    assist in this transgenerational journey, with somatic tissues supporting early
    development and single nurse cells supporting gametogenesis. New data reveal a
    two-way relationship between early reproductive cells and their helpers involving
    complex epigenetic and signaling networks determining cell number and fate. Later,
    the egg cell plays a central role in specifying accessory cells, whereas in both
    gametophytes, companion cells contribute non-cell-autonomously to the epigenetic
    landscape of the gamete genomes.

  text: The Arabidopsis thaliana central cell, the companion cell of the egg, undergoes
    DNA demethylation before fertilization, but the targeting preferences, mechanism,
    and biological significance of this process remain unclear. Here, we show that
    active DNA demethylation mediated by the DEMETER DNA glycosylase accounts for
    all of the demethylation in the central cell and preferentially targets small,
    AT-rich, and nucleosome-depleted euchromatic transposable elements. The vegetative
    cell, the companion cell of sperm, also undergoes DEMETER-dependent demethylation
    of similar sequences, and lack of DEMETER in vegetative cells causes reduced small
    RNA–directed DNA methylation of transposons in sperm. Our results demonstrate
    that demethylation in companion cells reinforces transposon methylation in plant
    gametes and likely contributes to stable silencing of transposable elements across
    generations.

  text: The regulation of eukaryotic chromatin relies on interactions between many
    epigenetic factors, including histone modifications, DNA methylation, and the
    incorporation of histone variants. H2A.Z, one of the most conserved but enigmatic
    histone variants that is enriched at the transcriptional start sites of genes,
    has been implicated in a variety of chromosomal processes. Recently, we reported
    a genome-wide anticorrelation between H2A.Z and DNA methylation, an epigenetic
    hallmark of heterochromatin that has also been found in the bodies of active genes
    in plants and animals. Here, we investigate the basis of this anticorrelation
    using a novel h2a.z loss-of-function line in Arabidopsis thaliana. Through genome-wide
    bisulfite sequencing, we demonstrate that loss of H2A.Z in Arabidopsis has only
    a minor effect on the level or profile of DNA methylation in genes, and we propose
    that the global anticorrelation between DNA methylation and H2A.Z is primarily
    caused by the exclusion of H2A.Z from methylated DNA. RNA sequencing and genomic
    mapping of H2A.Z show that H2A.Z enrichment across gene bodies, rather than at
    the TSS, is correlated with lower transcription levels and higher measures of
    gene responsiveness. Loss of H2A.Z causes misregulation of many genes that are
    disproportionately associated with response to environmental and developmental
    stimuli. We propose that H2A.Z deposition in gene bodies promotes variability
    in levels and patterns of gene expression, and that a major function of genic
    DNA methylation is to exclude H2A.Z from constitutively expressed genes.

  text: EMBRYONIC FLOWER1 (EMF1) is a plant-specific gene crucial to Arabidopsis vegetative
    development. Loss of function mutants in the EMF1 gene mimic the phenotype caused
    by mutations in Polycomb Group protein (PcG) genes, which encode epigenetic repressors
    that regulate many aspects of eukaryotic development. In Arabidopsis, Polycomb
    Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2), made of PcG proteins, catalyzes trimethylation of
    lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3) and PRC1-like proteins catalyze H2AK119 ubiquitination.
    Despite functional similarity to PcG proteins, EMF1 lacks sequence homology with
    known PcG proteins; thus, its role in the PcG mechanism is unclear. To study the
    EMF1 functions and its mechanism of action, we performed genome-wide mapping of
    EMF1 binding and H3K27me3 modification sites in Arabidopsis seedlings. The EMF1
    binding pattern is similar to that of H3K27me3 modification on the chromosomal
    and genic level. ChIPOTLe peak finding and clustering analyses both show that
    the highly trimethylated genes also have high enrichment levels of EMF1 binding,
    termed EMF1_K27 genes. EMF1 interacts with regulatory genes, which are silenced
    to allow vegetative growth, and with genes specifying cell fates during growth
    and differentiation. H3K27me3 marks not only these genes but also some genes that
    are involved in endosperm development and maternal effects. Transcriptome analysis,
    coupled with the H3K27me3 pattern, of EMF1_K27 genes in emf1 and PRC2 mutants
    showed that EMF1 represses gene activities via diverse mechanisms and plays a
    novel role in the PcG mechanism.

  text: Accumulating evidence points toward diverse functions for plant chromatin.
    Remarkable progress has been made over the last few years in elucidating the mechanisms
    for a number of these functions. Activity of the histone demethylase IBM1 accurately
    targets DNA methylation to silent repeats and transposable elements, not to genes.
    A genetic screen uncovered the surprising role of H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes
    in sensing precise differences in ambient temperature and consequent gene regulation.
    Precise maintenance of chromosome number is assured by a histone modification
    that suppresses inappropriate DNA replication and by centromeric histone H3 regulation
    of chromosome segregation. Histones and noncoding RNAs regulate FLOWERING LOCUS
    C, the expression of which quantitatively measures the duration of cold exposure,
    functioning as memory of winter. These findings are a testament to the power of
    using plants to research chromatin organization, and demonstrate examples of how
    chromatin functions to achieve biological accuracy, precision, and memory.

  text: The most well-studied function of DNA methylation in eukaryotic cells is the
    transcriptional silencing of genes and transposons. More recent results showed
    that many eukaryotes methylate the bodies of genes as well and that this methylation
    correlates with transcriptional activity rather than repression. The purpose of
    gene body methylation remains mysterious, but is potentially related to the histone
    variant H2A.Z. Studies in plants and animals have shown that the genome-wide distributions
    of H2A.Z and DNA methylation are strikingly anticorrelated. Furthermore, we and
    other investigators have shown that this relationship is likely to be the result
    of an ancient but unknown mechanism by which DNA methylation prevents the incorporation
    of H2A.Z. Recently, we discovered strong correlations between the presence of
    H2A.Z within gene bodies, the degree to which a gene's expression varies across
    tissue types or environmental conditions, and transcriptional misregulation in
    an h2a.z mutant. We propose that one basal function of gene body methylation is
    the establishment of constitutive expression patterns within housekeeping genes
    by excluding H2A.Z from their bodies.

  text: Imprinted genes are expressed primarily or exclusively from either the maternal
    or paternal allele, a phenomenon that occurs in flowering plants and mammals.
    Flowering plant imprinted gene expression has been described primarily in endosperm,
    a terminal nutritive tissue consumed by the embryo during seed development or
    after germination. Imprinted expression in Arabidopsis thaliana endosperm is orchestrated
    by differences in cytosine DNA methylation between the paternal and maternal genomes
    as well as by Polycomb group proteins. Currently, only 11 imprinted A. thaliana
    genes are known. Here, we use extensive sequencing of cDNA libraries to identify
    9 paternally expressed and 34 maternally expressed imprinted genes in A. thaliana
    endosperm that are regulated by the DNA-demethylating glycosylase DEMETER, the
    DNA methyltransferase MET1, and/or the core Polycomb group protein FIE. These
    genes encode transcription factors, proteins involved in hormone signaling, components
    of the ubiquitin protein degradation pathway, regulators of histone and DNA methylation,
    and small RNA pathway proteins. We also identify maternally expressed genes that
    may be regulated by unknown mechanisms or deposited from maternal tissues. We
    did not detect any imprinted genes in the embryo. Our results show that imprinted
    gene expression is an extensive mechanistically complex phenomenon that likely
    affects multiple aspects of seed development.

  text: Eukaryotic cytosine methylation represses transcription but also occurs in
    the bodies of active genes, and the extent of methylation biology conservation
    is unclear. We quantified DNA methylation in 17 eukaryotic genomes and found that
    gene body methylation is conserved between plants and animals, whereas selective
    methylation of transposons is not. We show that methylation of plant transposons
    in the CHG context extends to green algae and that exclusion of histone H2A.Z
    from methylated DNA is conserved between plants and animals, and we present evidence
    for RNA-directed DNA methylation of fungal genes. Our data demonstrate that extant
    DNA methylation systems are mosaics of conserved and derived features, and indicate
    that gene body methylation is an ancient property of eukaryotic genomes.

  text: 'Cytosine methylation silences transposable elements in plants, vertebrates,
    and fungi but also regulates gene expression. Plant methylation is catalyzed by
    three families of enzymes, each with a preferred sequence context: CG, CHG (H
    = A, C, or T), and CHH, with CHH methylation targeted by the RNAi pathway. Arabidopsis
    thaliana endosperm, a placenta-like tissue that nourishes the embryo, is globally
    hypomethylated in the CG context while retaining high non-CG methylation. Global
    methylation dynamics in seeds of cereal crops that provide the bulk of human nutrition
    remain unknown. Here, we show that rice endosperm DNA is hypomethylated in all
    sequence contexts. Non-CG methylation is reduced evenly across the genome, whereas
    CG hypomethylation is localized. CHH methylation of small transposable elements
    is increased in embryos, suggesting that endosperm demethylation enhances transposon
    silencing. Genes preferentially expressed in endosperm, including those coding
    for major storage proteins and starch synthesizing enzymes, are frequently hypomethylated
    in endosperm, indicating that DNA methylation is a crucial regulator of rice endosperm
    biogenesis. Our data show that genome-wide reshaping of seed DNA methylation is
    conserved among angiosperms and has a profound effect on gene expression in cereal
    crops.'

  text: Parent-of-origin-specific (imprinted) gene expression is regulated in Arabidopsis
    thaliana endosperm by cytosine demethylation of the maternal genome mediated by
    the DNA glycosylase DEMETER, but the extent of the methylation changes is not
    known. Here, we show that virtually the entire endosperm genome is demethylated,
    coupled with extensive local non-CG hypermethylation of small interfering RNA–targeted
    sequences. Mutation of DEMETER partially restores endosperm CG methylation to
    levels found in other tissues, indicating that CG demethylation is specific to
    maternal sequences. Endosperm demethylation is accompanied by CHH hypermethylation
    of embryo transposable elements. Our findings demonstrate extensive reconfiguration
    of the endosperm methylation landscape that likely reinforces transposon silencing
    in the embryo.

  text: Eukaryotic chromatin is separated into functional domains differentiated by
    posttranslational histone modifications, histone variants, and DNA methylation1–6.
    Methylation is associated with repression of transcriptional initiation in plants
    and animals, and is frequently found in transposable elements. Proper methylation
    patterns are critical for eukaryotic development4,5, and aberrant methylation-induced
    silencing of tumor suppressor genes is a common feature of human cancer7. In contrast
    to methylation, the histone variant H2A.Z is preferentially deposited by the Swr1
    ATPase complex near 5′ ends of genes where it promotes transcriptional competence8–20.
    How DNA methylation and H2A.Z influence transcription remains largely unknown.
    Here we show that in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, regions of DNA methylation
    are quantitatively deficient in H2A.Z. Exclusion of H2A.Z is seen at sites of
    DNA methylation in the bodies of actively transcribed genes and in methylated
    transposons. Mutation of the MET1 DNA methyltransferase, which causes both losses
    and gains of DNA methylation4,5, engenders opposite changes in H2A.Z deposition,
    while mutation of the PIE1 subunit of the Swr1 complex that deposits H2A.Z17 leads
    to genome-wide hypermethylation. Our findings indicate that DNA methylation can
    influence chromatin structure and effect gene silencing by excluding H2A.Z, and
    that H2A.Z protects genes from DNA methylation.

  text: DNA methylation is an ancient process found in all domains of life. Although
    the enzymes that mediate methylation have remained highly conserved, DNA methylation
    has been adapted for a variety of uses throughout evolution, including defense
    against transposable elements and control of gene expression. Defects in DNA methylation
    are linked to human diseases, including cancer. Methylation has been lost several
    times in the course of animal and fungal evolution, thus limiting the opportunity
    for study in common model organisms. In the past decade, plants have emerged as
    a premier model system for genetic dissection of DNA methylation. A recent combination
    of plant genetics with powerful genomic approaches has led to a number of exciting
    discoveries and promises many more.

  text: Cytosine DNA methylation is considered to be a stable epigenetic mark, but
    active demethylation has been observed in both plants and animals. In Arabidopsis
    thaliana, DNA glycosylases of the DEMETER (DME) family remove methylcytosines
    from DNA. Demethylation by DME is necessary for genomic imprinting, and demethylation
    by a related protein, REPRESSOR OF SILENCING1, prevents gene silencing in a transgenic
    background. However, the extent and function of demethylation by DEMETER-LIKE
    (DML) proteins in WT plants is not known. Using genome-tiling microarrays, we
    mapped DNA methylation in mutant and WT plants and identified 179 loci actively
    demethylated by DML enzymes. Mutations in DML genes lead to locus-specific DNA
    hypermethylation. Reintroducing WT DML genes restores most loci to the normal
    pattern of methylation, although at some loci, hypermethylated epialleles persist.
    Of loci demethylated by DML enzymes, >80% are near or overlap genes. Genic demethylation
    by DML enzymes primarily occurs at the 5′ and 3′ ends, a pattern opposite to the
    overall distribution of WT DNA methylation. Our results show that demethylation
    by DML DNA glycosylases edits the patterns of DNA methylation within the Arabidopsis
    genome to protect genes from potentially deleterious methylation.

  text: Cytosine methylation is the most common covalent modification of DNA in eukaryotes.
    DNA methylation has an important role in many aspects of biology, including development
    and disease. Methylation can be detected using bisulfite conversion, methylation-sensitive
    restriction enzymes, methyl-binding proteins and anti-methylcytosine antibodies.
    Combining these techniques with DNA microarrays and high-throughput sequencing
    has made the mapping of DNA methylation feasible on a genome-wide scale. Here
    we discuss recent developments and future directions for identifying and mapping
    methylation, in an effort to help colleagues to identify the approaches that best
    serve their research interests.

  text: 'Cytosine methylation, a common form of DNA modification that antagonizes
    transcription, is found at transposons and repeats in vertebrates, plants and
    fungi. Here we have mapped DNA methylation in the entire Arabidopsis thaliana
    genome at high resolution. DNA methylation covers transposons and is present within
    a large fraction of A. thaliana genes. Methylation within genes is conspicuously
    biased away from gene ends, suggesting a dependence on RNA polymerase transit.
    Genic methylation is strongly influenced by transcription: moderately transcribed
    genes are most likely to be methylated, whereas genes at either extreme are least
    likely. In turn, transcription is influenced by methylation: short methylated
    genes are poorly expressed, and loss of methylation in the body of a gene leads
    to enhanced transcription. Our results indicate that genic transcription and DNA
    methylation are closely interwoven processes.'

  text: Cytosine DNA methylation in vertebrates is widespread, but methylation in
    plants is found almost exclusively at transposable elements and repetitive DNA
    [1]. Within regions of methylation, methylcytosines are typically found in CG,
    CNG, and asymmetric contexts. CG sites are maintained by a plant homolog of mammalian
    Dnmt1 acting on hemi-methylated DNA after replication. Methylation of CNG and
    asymmetric sites appears to be maintained at each cell cycle by other mechanisms.
    We report a new type of DNA methylation in Arabidopsis, dense CG methylation clusters
    found at scattered sites throughout the genome. These clusters lack non-CG methylation
    and are preferentially found in genes, although they are relatively deficient
    toward the 5′ end. CG methylation clusters are present in lines derived from different
    accessions and in mutants that eliminate de novo methylation, indicating that
    CG methylation clusters are stably maintained at specific sites. Because 5-methylcytosine
    is mutagenic, the appearance of CG methylation clusters over evolutionary time
    predicts a genome-wide deficiency of CG dinucleotides and an excess of C(A/T)G
    trinucleotides within transcribed regions. This is exactly what we find, implying
    that CG methylation clusters have contributed profoundly to plant gene evolution.
    We suggest that CG methylation clusters silence cryptic promoters that arise sporadically
    within transcription units.

  text: "Background:\r\nDNA methylation occurs at preferred sites in eukaryotes. In
    Arabidopsis, DNA cytosine methylation is maintained by three subfamilies of methyltransferases
    with distinct substrate specificities and different modes of action. Targeting
    of cytosine methylation at selected loci has been found to sometimes involve histone
    H3 methylation and small interfering (si)RNAs. However, the relationship between
    different cytosine methylation pathways and their preferred targets is not known.\r\nResults:\r\nWe
    used a microarray-based profiling method to explore the involvement of Arabidopsis
    CMT3 and DRM DNA methyltransferases, a histone H3 lysine-9 methyltransferase (KYP)
    and an Argonaute-related siRNA silencing component (AGO4) in methylating target
    loci. We found that KYP targets are also CMT3 targets, suggesting that histone
    methylation maintains CNG methylation genome-wide. CMT3 and KYP targets show similar
    proximal distributions that correspond to the overall distribution of transposable
    elements of all types, whereas DRM targets are distributed more distally along
    the chromosome. We find an inverse relationship between element size and loss
    of methylation in ago4 and drm mutants.\r\nConclusion:\r\nWe conclude that the
    targets of both DNA methylation and histone H3K9 methylation pathways are transposable
    elements genome-wide, irrespective of element type and position. Our findings
    also suggest that RNA-directed DNA methylation is required to silence isolated
    elements that may be too small to be maintained in a silent state by a chromatin-based
    mechanism alone. Thus, parallel pathways would be needed to maintain silencing
    of transposable elements."
