Hypomethylated drm1 drm2 cmt3 mutant phenotype of Arabidopsis thaliana is related to auxin pathway impairment

摘要

DNA methylation carried out by different methyltransferase classes is a relevant epigenetic modification of DNA which plays a relevant role in the development of eukaryotic organisms. Accordingly, in Arabidopsis thaliana loss of DNA methylation due to combined mutations in genes encoding for DNA methyltransferases causes several developmental abnormalities.
