Breeding crop plants with increased yield potential and improved tolerance to stressful
environments is critical for global food security. Drought stress (DS) adversely affects …

The identification and characterization of cis-regulatory DNA sequences and how they
function to coordinate responses to developmental and environmental cues is of paramount …

A contribution of DNA methylation to defense against invading nucleic acids and
maintenance of genome integrity is uncontested; however, our understanding of the extent …

The large size and complexity of most fern genomes have hampered efforts to elucidate
fundamental aspects of fern biology and land plant evolution through genome-enabled …

INTRODUCTION Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely cultivated crop on Earth,
contributing about a fifth of the total calories consumed by humans. Consequently, wheat …

DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic modification that is important for gene regulation
and genome stability. Aberrant patterns of DNA methylation can lead to plant developmental …

Plants are essential for life and are extremely diverse organisms with unique molecular
capabilities. Here we present a quantitative atlas of the transcriptomes, proteomes 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 …

This article focuses on the molecular and hormonal mechanisms underlying the control of
fleshy fruit ripening and quality. Recent research on tomato shows that ethylene, acting …

The epigenome orchestrates genome accessibility, functionality, and three-dimensional
structure. Because epigenetic variation can impact transcription and thus phenotypes, it may …
