Identification of Pol IV and RDR2-dependent precursors of 24 nt siRNAs guiding de novo DNA methylation in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: The identified Pol IV and RDR2-dependent RNAs (P4R2 RNAs) that accumulate in dcl3 mutants and are diced into 24 nt RNAs by DCL3 in vitro, suggesting a model whereby siRNAs are generated from either end of P4R 2 duplexes by single dicing events.
Hybrid incompatibility caused by an epiallele

TL;DR: The results show that HISN6-dependent hybrid lethality is a revertible epigenetic phenomenon and provide additional evidence that epigenetic variation has the potential to limit gene flow between diverging populations of a species.

Mutation of Arabidopsis SMC4 identifies condensin as a corepressor of pericentromeric transposons and conditionally expressed genes.

TL;DR: It is shown that silencing of transposons in the pericentromeric heterochromatin of Arabidopsis thaliana requires SMC4, a core subunit of condensins I and II, acting in conjunction with CG methylation by MET1, and chromatin remodeler DDM1, which facilitates DNA demethylation.
