Distinct targeting of 5mC and 6mA DNA methylation during the onset of Flg22-induced immunity between Arabidopsis and rice.

Cytosine methylation drives transcriptional reprogramming during plant innate and acquired immunity. Beyond RNA adenosine methylation, DNA adenine methylation (6mA) has recently emerged as a candidate regulator of gene expression, though its role in plant immunity is unknown. Using the bacterial elicitor Flg22, we exam...
