Genomic survey, gene expression analysis and structural modeling suggest diverse roles of DNA methyltransferases in legumes.
DNA methylation plays a crucial role in development through inheritable gene silencing. Plants possess three types of DNA methyltransferases (MTases), namely Methyltransferase (MET), Chromomethylase (CMT) and Domains Rearranged Methyltransferase (DRM), which maintain methylation at CG, CHG and CHH s...
