cis-Regulatory elements encode the genomic blueprints that ensure the proper
spatiotemporal patterning of gene expression necessary for appropriate development and …

Plant intra-individual and inter-individual variation can be determined by the epigenome, a
set of covalent modifications of DNA and chromatin that can alter genome structure and …

We report de novo genome assemblies, transcriptomes, annotations, and methylomes for
the 26 inbreds that serve as the founders for the maize nested association mapping …

INTRODUCTION Polyploidy, arising from whole-genome duplication or interspecific
hybridization, is ubiquitous across the plant and fungal kingdoms. The presence of highly …

Increasing the proportion of locally produced plant protein in currently meat-rich diets could
substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity. However, plant …

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism that regulates gene expression. To
date, most DNA methylation studies have focussed on CpG islands in the gene promoter …

Epigenetic modifications in DNA bases and histone proteins play important roles in the
regulation of gene expression and genome stability. Chemical modification of DNA base …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that regulates multiple processes, such as gene
expression and genome stability. Mutants and pharmacological treatments have been …

Plant breeding has traditionally relied on combining the genetic diversity present within a
species to develop combinations of alleles that provide desired traits. Epigenetic diversity …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a large and diverse class of genes in eukaryotic
genomes that contribute to a variety of regulatory processes. Functionally characterized …
