Mangroves are halophytic plants belonging to diverse angiosperm families that are adapted
to highly stressful intertidal zones between land and sea. They are special, unique, and one …

Recent research in plant epigenetics has increased our understanding of how epigenetic
variability can contribute to adaptive phenotypic plasticity in natural populations. Studies …

Environmentally induced DNA methylation variants may mediate gene expression
responses to environmental changes. If such induced variants are transgenerationally …

Several reduced‐representation bisulfite sequencing methods have been developed in
recent years to determine cytosine methylation de novo in nonmodel species. Here, we …

Organisms adapt to different environments by selection of the most suitable phenotypes from
the standing genetic variation or by phenotypic plasticity, the ability of single genotypes to …

The concept of invasion is useful across a broad range of contexts, spanning from the fine
scale landscape of cancer tumors up to the broader landscape of ecosystems. Invasion …

The adaptive capacity of a species and its population is determined by both genetic and
epigenetic variation, which defines the potential for adaptive evolution and plastic response …

The remarkable capacity of bryophytes to tolerate extremely challenging abiotic conditions
allows us to enhance our understanding of the diversity of molecular mechanisms involved …

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 …

Our understanding of the relative contribution of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms to
organismal response to stress is largely biased towards specific taxonomic groups (eg seed …
