RNA-Directed DNA Methylation: The Evolution of a Complex Epigenetic Pathway in Flowering Plants

RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is an epigenetic process in plants that involves both short and long noncoding RNAs. The generation of these RNAs and the induction of RdDM rely on complex transcriptional machineries comprising two plant-specific, RNA polymerase II (Pol II)–related RNA polymerase... View More
