Integrative analysis of DNA methylation, mRNAs, and small RNAs during maize embryo dedifferentiation

Abstract Background Maize (Zea mays) is an important model crop for transgenic studies. However, genetic transformation of maize requires embryonic calli derived from immature embryo, and the impact of utilizing tissue culture methods on the maize epigenome is poorly understood. Here, we generated w...
