Environmental conditions are key factors in the modulation of the epigenetic mechanisms
regulating gene expression in plants. Specifically, the maintenance of cell cultures in optimal …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed that the striking natural variation
for DNA CHH-methylation (mCHH; H is A, T, or C) of transposons has oligogenic …

In plants, other cells can express totipotency in addition to the zygote, thus resulting in
embryo differentiation; this appears evident in apomictic and epiphyllous plants. According …

Potato is a temperate crop consumed globally as a staple food. High temperature negatively
impacts the tuberization process, eventually affecting crop yield. DNA methylation plays an …

Epigenetic variations are inherited or uninherited effects that occur beyond the DNA
sequence of an individual. However, DNA sequence has a critical role in shaping epigenetic …

High temperature (HT) causes male sterility and decreases crop yields. Our previous works
have demonstrated that sugar and auxin signaling pathways, Gossypium hirsutum Casein …

Forest tree species are highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. As sessile
organisms with long generation times, their adaptation to a local changing environment may …

Nutrient stress as abiotic stress has become one of the important factors restricting crop yield
and quality. DNA methylation is an essential epigenetic modification that can effectively …

Methyl-cytosine (5mC) is one of the most important DNA modifications and plays versatile
biological roles. It is well known that 5mC stabilizes DNA duplexes. However, it remains …

Main conclusion CG and CHG methylation levels in the rapid shoot growth stages (ST2–
ST4) of woody bamboos were obviously decreased, which might regulate the internode …
