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

Rapidly accumulating evidence shows that herbivore and pathogen attack of plants can
generate particular defense phenotypes across generations. What was once thought to be …

Quantifying the impact of heritable epigenetic variation on complex traits is an emerging
challenge in population genetics. Here, we analyze a population of isogenic Arabidopsis …

One of the most remarkable biological insights in the past 30 years has been that many
genetic programs for complex traits, such as flower or limb development, are shared across …

Nongenetic inheritance is a potentially important but poorly understood factor in population
responses to rapid environmental change. Accumulating evidence indicates that nongenetic …

Metabolomics approaches enable the parallel assessment of the levels of a broad range of
metabolites and have been documented to have great value in both phenotyping and …

The science of genetics is undergoing a paradigm shift. Recent discoveries, including the
activity of retrotransposons, the extent of copy number variations, somatic and chromosomal …

The field of epigenomics has rapidly progressed from the study of individual reference
epigenomes to surveying epigenomic variation in populations. Recent studies in a number …

The refutation of 'soft'inheritance and establishment of Mendelian genetics as the exclusive
model of heredity is widely portrayed as an iconic success story of scientific progress. Yet …

DNA methylation is a conserved and important epigenetic mark in both mammals and
plants. DNA methylation can be dynamically established, maintained, and removed through …
