Genome assemblies are currently being produced at an impressive rate by consortia and
individual laboratories. The low costs and increasing efficiency of sequencing technologies …

DNA methylation plays an important role in the maintenance of genomic stability. Ten-
eleven translocation proteins (TETs) are a family of iron (Fe2+) and α-KG-dependent …

Heterosis has historically been exploited in plants; however, its underlying genetic
mechanisms and molecular basis remain elusive. In recent years, due to advances in …

DNA methylation is associated with transcriptional repression of eukaryotic genes and
transposons, but the downstream mechanism of gene silencing is largely unknown. Here …

Melatonin (MT) is a tryptophan-derived natural product that plays a vital role in plant
response to abiotic stresses, including heavy metals (HMs). However, it remains elusive how …

Paternal life experiences impact offspring health via germline, and epigenetic inheritance
provides a potential mechanism. However, global reprogramming during offspring …

Environmental factors can promote phenotypic variation through alterations in the
epigenome and facilitate adaptation of an organism to the environment. Although hydrogen …

Plant tissue culture techniques have been extensively employed in commercial
micropropagation to provide year-round production. Tissue culture regenerants are not …

The cellular machinery that regulates gene expression can be self-propagated across cell
division cycles and even generations. This renders gene expression states and their …

Drought stress causes changes in the morphological, physiological, biochemical and
molecular characteristics of plants. The response to drought in different plants may vary from …
