Since the human genome was sequenced, the term" epigenetics" is increasingly being
associated with the hope that we are more than just the sum of our genes. Might what we …

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

Cytosine methylation is involved in various biological processes such as silencing of
transposable elements (TEs) and imprinting. Multiple pathways regulate DNA methylation in …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification required for transposable element (TE)
silencing, genome stability, and genomic imprinting. Although DNA methylation has been …

Plant epigenetics has recently gained unprecedented interest, not only as a subject of basic
research but also as a possible new source of beneficial traits for plant breeding. We discuss …

We report a photoactivatable variant of the Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein
(GFP) that, after intense irradiation with 413-nanometer light, increases fluorescence 100 …

Loss or gain of DNA methylation can affect gene expression and is sometimes transmitted
across generations. Such epigenetic alterations are thus a possible source of heritable …

Phenotypic variation is traditionally parsed into components that are directed by genetic and
environmental variation. The line between these two components is blurred by inherited …

Transposable elements are the single largest component of the genetic material of most
eukaryotes. The recent availability of large quantities of genomic sequence has led to a shift …

Flowering is controlled by environmental conditions and developmental regulation. The
complexity of this regulation is created by an intricate network of signaling pathways …
