Recent evidence sheds light on the peculiar type of plant intelligence. Plants have
developed complex molecular networks that allow them to remember, choose, and make …

Simple Summary Research on plant epigenetics aims to understand how endogenous,
biotic, and abiotic factors regulate plant development and growth independent of changes in …

Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene activity that can be transmitted through cell
divisions but cannot be explained by changes in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic …

The mobility of transposable elements (TEs) contributes to evolution of genomes. Their
uncontrolled activity causes genomic instability; therefore, expression of TEs is silenced by …

Trees are long‐lived organisms that continuously adapt to their environments, a process in
which epigenetic mechanisms are likely to play a key role. Via downregulation of the …

Methylation of CG dinucleotides (mCGs), which regulates eukaryotic genome functions, is
epigenetically propagated by Dnmt1/MET1 methyltransferases. How mCG is established …

Environmentally induced DNA methylation variants may mediate gene expression
responses to environmental changes. If such induced variants are transgenerationally …

Recent population genomic studies in plants have shed new light on natural epigenetic
variation by identifying key genetic determinants,“trans modifiers,” that influence epigenetic …

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic marker, yet its diversity and consequences in
tomato breeding at the population level are largely unknown. We performed whole-genome …

Myriad mechanisms have evolved to adapt to changing environments. Environmental stimuli
alter organisms' physiology to create memories of previous environments. Whether these …
