These last 20 years, several techniques have been developed for quantifying DNA
methylation, the most studied epigenetic marks in eukaryotes, including the gold standard …

DNA methylation plays an important role in many biological processes. The mechanisms
underlying the establishment and maintenance of DNA methylation are well understood …

In contrast to mammals where DNA methylation occurs near exclusively at CG dinucleotides,
all cytosines of plant genomes can be methylated irrespective to the sequence context …

DNA cytosine methylation is an epigenetic mechanism involved in regulation of plant
responses to biotic and abiotic stress and its ability to change can vary with the sequence …

DNA methylation in plants affects transposon silencing, transcriptional regulation and thus
phenotypic variation. One unanswered question is whether DNA methylation could be …

Background Variation in DNA methylation across distinct genetic populations, or in response
to specific biotic or abiotic stimuli, has typically been studied in leaf DNA from pooled …

Most plant species are recent or ancient polyploids (displaying at least one round of genome
duplication in their history). Cultivated species (eg wheat, cotton, canola, sugarcane, coffee) …

Cytosine methylation is an important base modification that is inherited across mitotic and
meiotic cell divisions in plant genomes. Heritable methylation variants can contribute to …

The expanding scope and scale of next generation sequencing experiments in ecological
plant epigenetics brings new challenges for computational analysis. Existing tools built for …

Cytosine methylation is a hallmark of epigenetic information in the DNA of many fungi,
vertebrates and plants. The technique of bisulphite genomic sequencing reveals the …
