Histone H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 regulatory genes control stable transmission of an epimutation in rice

DNA methylation loss can produce inheritable active epialleles in plants. The mechanism involved in the stable transmission of hypomethylated epimuations is presently not clear. Here we show that maintenance of a stably hypomethylated active epiallele in rice required a CHD3 protein (CHR729) and tha...
