The plant genome can respond rapidly and dynamically to stress in a manner that
overcomes the restrictions of a highly stable DNA sequence. Abiotic stresses such as …

The influence of mechanical bending or flexing of trees, due primarily to wind, on tree growth
and development has been observed and reported for hundreds of years. This response …

To examine the relationship between gene expression and DNA methylation,
transcriptionally activated genes were screened in hypomethylated transgenic tobacco …

Abstract Background and Aims Epigenetics is defined as mechanisms that regulate gene
expression without base sequence alteration. One molecular basis is considered to be DNA …

Genes constitute only a small portion of the total genome and precisely controlling their
expression represents a substantial problem for their regulation. Furthermore, non-coding …

HPLC analysis of nucleosides is important for determining total DNA methylation in plants
and can be used to help characterise epigenetic changes during stress, growth and …

A hypothesis is presented suggesting that nicotinamide (NIC) is an initial signal substance in
the response of eukaryotic cells to conditions which cause DNA‐strand breakage, especially …

Traditional plant breeding encompasses repetitive crossing and selection based on
morphological traits, while phenotypic selection has been complemented by molecular …
