One-way control of FWA imprinting in Arabidopsis endosperm by DNA methylation.
Tetsu Kinoshita,Asuka Miura,Yeonhee Choi,Yuki Kinoshita,Xiaofeng Cao,Steven E. Jacobsen,Robert L. Fischer,Tetsuji Kakutani +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that wild-type FWA displays imprinted (maternal origin–specific) expression in endosperm, which enables plants to use such “one-way” control of imprinting and DNA methylation inendosperm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imprinting of the MEDEA Polycomb Gene in the Arabidopsis Endosperm
TL;DR: Results suggest that the embryo abortion observed in mutant mea seeds is due, at least in part, to a defect in endosperm function, which supports the parental conflict theory for the evolution of imprinting in plants and mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maintenance of DNA Methylation during the Arabidopsis Life Cycle Is Essential for Parental Imprinting
TL;DR: It is shown that FWA and FIS2 imprinting requires the maintenance of DNA methylation throughout the plant life cycle, including male gametogenesis and endosperm development, and proposes that imprinting has evolved under constraints linked to the evolution of plant reproduction and not by the selection of a specific molecular mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epigenetic Memory for Stress Response and Adaptation in Plants
Tetsu Kinoshita,Motoaki Seki +1 more
TL;DR: Recent studies have yielded evidence indicating that epigenetic mechanisms are indeed essential for stress memories and adaptation in plants, and this mini review is focused on recent progress in determination of the epigenetic mechanism used by plants under various environmental stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of FWA gene silencing in Arabidopsis thaliana by SINE-related direct repeats
Yuki Kinoshita,Hidetoshi Saze,Tetsu Kinoshita,Asuka Miura,Wim J. J. Soppe,Maarten Koornneef,Tetsuji Kakutani +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that methylation of the direct repeats, which presumably originated from a short interspersed nuclear element (SINE), is sufficient to induce proper epigenetic control of the FWA gene.
