  bibo_abstract:
  - DNA methylation regulates eukaryotic gene expression and is extensively reprogrammed
    during animal development. However, whether developmental methylation reprogramming
    during the sporophytic life cycle of flowering plants regulates genes is presently
    unknown. Here we report a distinctive gene-targeted RNA-directed DNA methylation
    (RdDM) activity in the Arabidopsis thaliana male sexual lineage that regulates
    gene expression in meiocytes. Loss of sexual-lineage-specific RdDM causes mis-splicing
    of the MPS1 gene (also known as PRD2), thereby disrupting meiosis. Our results
    establish a regulatory paradigm in which de novo methylation creates a cell-lineage-specific
    epigenetic signature that controls gene expression and contributes to cellular
    function in flowering plants.@eng
