DNA methylation and plant development

E J Richards. Trends Genet. 1997 Aug.

Abstract

The development of genetic tools to alter DNA methylation has led to a deeper understanding of the importance of DNA modification in the life strategies of different eukaryotic organisms. This review focuses on recent findings that demonstrate a role for cytosine methylation in the development of higher plants. The effects of altering DNA modification are considered in the context of unique aspects of plant development.
