Plant secondary cell walls constitute the majority of plant biomass. They are predominantly
found in xylem cells, which are derived from vascular initials during vascularization. Little is …

DNA methylation is an important mechanism for the dynamic regulation of gene expression
and silencing of transposons during plant developmental processes. Here, we analyzed …

Bioenergy sorghum is a low‐input, drought‐resilient, deep‐rooting annual crop that has high
biomass yield potential enabling the sustainable production of biofuels, biopower, and …

In trees, xylem tissues play a key role in the formation of woody tissues, which have
important uses for pulp and timber production; also DNA methylation plays an important part …

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a drought tolerant crop, which is being developed as a
bioenergy feedstock. The monolignol biosynthesis pathway is a major focus for altering the …

DNA methylation is involved in the control of plant development and adaptation to the
environment through modifications of chromatin compaction and gene expression. In poplar …

It has been well established that DNA cytosine methylation plays essential regulatory roles
in imprinting gene expression in endosperm, and hence normal embryonic development, in …

Background As an important epigenetic mark, 5-methylcytosine (5mC) methylation is
involved in many DNA-dependent biological processes and plays a role during …

DNA methylation has the potential to influence plant growth and development through its
influence on gene expression. To date, however, the evidence from plant systems is mixed …

DNA methylation is widely known to regulate gene expression in eukaryotes. Here, we
unraveled DNA methylation patterns in cultivated chickpea to understand the regulation of …
