Due to their sessile state, plants are inevitably affected by and respond to the external
environment. So far, plants have developed multiple adaptation and regulation strategies to …

Soybean is one of the most important oilseed and fodder crops. Benefiting from the efforts of
soybean breeders and the development of breeding technology, large number of …

Epigenetic modifications in DNA bases and histone proteins play important roles in the
regulation of gene expression and genome stability. Chemical modification of DNA base …

Simple Summary Research on plant epigenetics aims to understand how endogenous,

Background Unlike animals, plants can pause their life cycle as dormant seeds. In both
plants and animals, DNA methylation is involved in the regulation of gene expression and …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification required for transposable element (TE)
silencing, genome stability, and genomic imprinting. Although DNA methylation has been …

Plant development processes are regulated by epigenetic alterations that shape nuclear
structure, gene expression, and phenotypic plasticity; these alterations can provide the plant …

Heat stress events are resulting in a significant negative impact on global food production.
The dynamics of cellular, molecular and physiological homoeostasis in aboveground parts …

DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic mark that plays important roles in maintaining
genome stability and regulating gene expression. As sessile organisms, plants have …

Background Seed germination involves progression from complete metabolic dormancy to a
highly active, growing seedling. Many factors regulate germination and these interact …
