This project explores how transposable elements in plant genomes are regulated through epigenetic inheritance to prevent mutations. It focuses on the role of small interfering RNAs in safeguarding the genome during pollen development and embryo formation, enhancing understanding of plant genome integrity.
A great portion of organism genomes are composed of “junk” DNA that their cells must stop from transcribing.
This “junk” DNA is composed of transposable elements (TEs), which will generate mutations if allowed to express.
However, each cell does not need to determine de novo what regions of the genome are TEs, rather this information is passed down from a progenitor cell in a process termed epigenetic inheritance.
In both plants and animals, epigenetic inheritance occurs across mitotic cell divi…
