Abstract
The de novo silencing of transposable elements in plants and animals is mediated in part by RNA‐directed chromatin modification. In flowering plants, AGO4 has been seen as the key argonaute protein in the RNA‐directed DNA methylation pathway that links the plant‐specific RNA polymerase V with the de novo DNA methyltransferase DRM2 (Zhong et al, 2014). Two recent papers in The EMBO Journal strongly implicate a role for the AGO6 protein in the process of de novo silencing.
