摘要
Recent research has demonstrated that DNA methylation plays an integral role in regulating the timing of flowering and in endosperm development. The identification of key genes controlling these processes, the expression of which is altered in plants with low methylation, opens the way to understanding how DNA methylation regulates plant development.
