Understanding the evolutionary and ecological roles of'non-genetic'inheritance (NGI) is
daunting due to the complexity and diversity of epigenetic mechanisms. We draw on insights …

Mortality and morbidity from cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represents a huge burden to
society. It is recognized that environmental factors and individual lifestyles play important …

Plants are essential for life and are extremely diverse organisms with unique molecular
capabilities. Here we present a quantitative atlas of the transcriptomes, proteomes and …

Biodiversity conservation is a global issue where the challenge is to integrate all levels of
biodiversity to ensure the long‐term evolutionary potential and resilience of biological …

Current knowledge of the genetic, epigenetic, behavioural and symbolic systems of
inheritance requires a revision and extension of the mid-twentieth-century, gene …

DNA methylation is a ubiquitous chromatin feature, present in 25% of cytosines in the maize
genome, but variation and evolution of the methylation landscape during maize …

Epigenetic DNA modification impacts gene expression, but the underlying molecular
mechanisms are only partly understood. Adding a methyl group to a cytosine base locally …

Epigenetic inheritance has been proposed to contribute to adaptation and acclimation via
two information channels:(i) inducible epigenetic marks that enable transgenerational …

Being sessile organisms, plants show a high degree of developmental plasticity to cope with
a constantly changing environment. While plasticity in plants is largely controlled genetically …

Recently interest in multi-generational epigenetic phenomena have been fuelled by highly
reproducible intergenerational and transgenerational inheritance paradigms in several …
