CHH methylation is recruited to gene-proximal transposable elements during repeated drought stress
These findings support a model in which repeated drought consistently recruits CHH methylation to reproducible gene-proximal TEs, where it is associated with maintenance of local TE repression despite continued activation of neighboring stress-responsive genes.
