DNA methylation can cause heritable phenotypic modifications in the absence of changes in
DNA sequence. Environmental stresses can trigger methylation changes and this may have …

DNA methylation is a kind of important epigenetic phenomenon, which could regulate gene
expression in cells by affecting the transcription and duplication of DNA without changing …

In the last couple of decades, extreme weather events have been increasing, exceeding
plants' tolerance thresholds, and driving mass mortalities in many tree species. Furthermore …

Epigenetic factors are increasingly being viewed as important mechanisms in organism
performance. However, advances in plant epigenetics rely mostly on studies of short-lived …

Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an organism to change its phenotype (expressed
characteristics) in response to its environment. For example, plants with the same genotype …

In this study, methylation sensitive amplification polymorphism (MSAP) analysis was
performed in dwarf ornamental Cunninghamia lanceolata (dwarf-type) and wild-type, to …

Long-lived conifers are vulnerable to climate change because classical evolutionary
processes are slow in developing adaptive responses. Therefore, the capacity of a genotype …

Heterosis is a fundamental biological phenomenon characterized by the superior
performance of a hybrid over its parents in many traits, but the underlying molecular basis …

To reveal epigenetic changes during flowering and rejuvenation of bamboo, we performed
methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism (MSAP) analysis on the genomic DNA of …
