Genome-wide profiling reveals 5mC and 6mA dynamics during Flg22-induced plant immunity

Matthys et al. @mobi-ugent.bsky.social

nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/TRRPPG...

Using Oxford Nanopore sequencing, genome-wide DNA methylation responses to Flg22 were compared between Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa. In both species, immune activation was marked by increased relative 5mC accumulation at (peri)centromeric regions compared with chromosome arms. In parallel, defence-responsive genes displayed an enhanced bimodal 6mA distribution flanking transcription start and termination sites following Flg22 elicitation. These findings identify shared methylation features associated with immune activation across two evolutionarily distinct plant species and associate 6mA remodelling with activation of the immune-responsive transcriptome.

Did you know that petals have 'windows' that affect the abundance of microbes within flowers?

Research published in New Phytologist reveals that they alter the amount of light and heat entering the flower, changing conditions that influence microbial abundance.

Thrilled to have @anahvsb.bsky.social's thesis out in New Phytologist! This one was really fun! Anah kept finding in prelim data that Oxalis stricta plants exposed to low doses of the herbicide dicamba would produce MOAR flowers than control plants! So she studied this over two field exps
