Hypermethylation of retrotransposons in the liverwort Marchantia paleacea var. diptera. Fukuda, T., Sakai, M., Takano, H., Ono, K., & Takio, S. Plant Cell Reports, 22(8):594-598, 2004.
abstract   bibtex   
Three DNA fragments encoding part of a reverse transcriptase similar to that of Ty1- copia retrotransposons were isolated from suspension-cultured cells of the liverwort Marchantia paleacea var. diptera. Digestion of total DNA with methylation-sensitive and -insensitive isoschizomers revealed that, like those of the subtelomeric region, CpG sequences in retrotransposon genes were hypermethylated. The methylation status and expression of these retrotransposons was less affected by 5-azadeoxycytidine treatment compared to the subtelomeric region, which was considerably demethylated.
