text: Epigenetic reprogramming is required for proper regulation of gene expression
in eukaryotic organisms. In Arabidopsis, active DNA demethylation is crucial for
seed viability, pollen function, and successful reproduction. The DEMETER (DME)
DNA glycosylase initiates localized DNA demethylation in vegetative and central
cells, so-called companion cells that are adjacent to sperm and egg gametes, respectively.
In rice, the central cell genome displays local DNA hypomethylation, suggesting
that active DNA demethylation also occurs in rice; however, the enzyme responsible
for this process is unknown. One candidate is the rice REPRESSOR OF SILENCING
1a (ROS1a) gene, which is related to DME and is essential for rice seed viability
and pollen function. Here, we report genome-wide analyses of DNA methylation in
wild-type and ros1a mutant sperm and vegetative cells. We find that the rice vegetative
cell genome is locally hypomethylated compared with sperm by a process that requires
ROS1a activity. We show that many ROS1a target sequences in the vegetative cell
are hypomethylated in the rice central cell, suggesting that ROS1a also demethylates
the central cell genome. Similar to Arabidopsis, we show that sperm non-CG methylation
is indirectly promoted by DNA demethylation in the vegetative cell. These results
reveal that DNA glycosylase-mediated DNA demethylation processes are conserved
in Arabidopsis and rice, plant species that diverged 150 million years ago. Finally,
although global non-CG methylation levels of sperm and egg differ, the maternal
and paternal embryo genomes show similar non-CG methylation levels, suggesting
that rice gamete genomes undergo dynamic DNA methylation reprogramming after cell
fusion.
