Abstract
â¶ Active DNA methylation is mediated by MET1, CMT3, DRM1 and DRM2. â¶ It also requires other gene products (DDM1, DRD1, VIM1, VIM2, VIM3 and HOG1). â¶ Loss of methylation results in loss of methylation of the pericentromeric heterochromatin. â¶ Active demethylation is mediated by four glycosylases but the effects are subtle. â¶ Pollen and endosperm development involve loss of DNA methylation.
