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 …

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

Long-term climate change and periodic environmental extremes threaten food and fuel
security and global crop productivity,–. Although molecular and adaptive breeding strategies …

Allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium) species represents a model system for the study of plant
polyploidy, molecular evolution, and domestication. Here, chromosome-scale genome …

The genus Quercus, which emerged∼ 55 million years ago during globally warm
temperatures, diversified into∼ 450 extant species. We present a high-quality de novo …

Epigenetics has been revealed to play a crucial role in the long-term memory in plants.
However, little is known about whether the epigenetic modifications occur with age …

Mistakes in the maintenance of CG methylation are a source of heritable epimutations in
plants. Multigenerational surveys indicate that the rate of these stochastic events varies …

Mutation is the source of all heritable diversity, the essential material of evolution and
breeding. While mutation rates are often regarded as constant, variability in mutation rates …

Populus species play a foundational role in diverse ecosystems and are important
renewable feedstocks for bioenergy and bioproducts. Hybrid aspen Populus tremula× P …

Background Elevated temperatures can cause physiological, biochemical, and molecular
responses in plants that can greatly affect their growth and development. Mutations are the …
