  abstract = {{I}n plants, {DNA} methylation occurs in distinct sequence contexts, including {CG}, {CHG}, and {CHH}. {T}hus, plants have developed a surprisingly diverse set of {DNA} methylation readers to cope with an extended repertoire of methylated sites. {T}he {A}rabidopsis genome contains twelve {M}ethyl-{B}inding {D}omain proteins ({MBD}), and nine {SET} and {RING} finger-associated ({SRA}) domain containing proteins belonging to the {SUVH} clade, in addition to three homologs of {UHRF}1, namely {VIM}1-3, all containing {SRA} domains. {I}n this review, we will highlight several research questions that remain unresolved with respect to the function of plant {DNA} methylation readers, which can have both de novo demethylase and maintenance activity. {W}e argue that maintenance of {CG} methylation in plants likely involved actors not found in their mammalian counterparts, and that new evidence suggests significant reprogramming of {DNA} methylation during plant reproduction as an important new development in the field.},
