A DNA demethylase reduces seed size by decreasing the DNA methylation of AT-rich transposable elements in soybean

Abstract Understanding how to increase soybean yield is crucial for global food security. The genetic and epigenetic factors influencing seed size, a major crop yield determinant, are not fully understood. We explore the role of DNA demethylase GmDMEa in soybean seed size. Our research indicates tha...
