Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation The NbCMT3-2 N-terminal extension was required for nuclear localization.
- Intervention effect Transient expression of the N-terminal polypeptide produced chlorotic lesions.
- Observation NbCMT3-2 was expressed mainly in proliferating tissues.
- Observation In young seedlings, NbCMT3-2 was expressed in shoot and root apical meristems and leaf primordia.
- Intervention effect Silencing NbCMT3, NbCMT3-2, or both partly reduced genomic DNA methylation.
- Observation NbCMT3 suppression did not alter normal growth and development.
- Intervention effect NbCMT3-2 knockdown leaves showed mild curling versus controls.
- Intervention effect Combined NbCMT3/3-2 silencing severely interfered with leaf development.
- Intervention effect Combined silencing affected expression of genes involved in jasmonate homeostasis.
