Growing evidence shows that epigenetic mechanisms contribute to complex traits, with
implications across many fields of biology. In plant ecology, recent studies have attempted to …

Environmental conditions can change the activity of plant genes via epigenetic effects that
alter the competence of genetic information to be expressed. This may provide a powerful …

Background The evolution of gene body methylation (gbM), its origins, and its functional
consequences are poorly understood. By pairing the largest collection of transcriptomes (> …

Background Melatonin can regulate plant growth, development and biotic responses by
causing global changes in gene expression; however, the melatonin-induced changes in …

Cytosine DNA methylation is prevalent throughout eukaryotes and prokaryotes. While most
commonly thought of as being localized to dinucleotide CpG sites, non-CG sites can also be …

To properly regulate the genome, cytosine methylation is established by animal DNA
methyltransferase 3 s (DNMT3s). While altered DNMT3 homologs, Domains rearranged …

Plants and algae have a complex life history that transitions between distinct life forms called
the sporophyte and the gametophyte. This phenomenon—called the alternation of …

Cytosine (DNA) methylation in plants regulates the expression of genes and transposons.
While methylation in plant genomes occurs at CG, CHG, and CHH sequence contexts, the …

Marchantia polymorpha has recently become a prime model for cellular, evo‐devo, synthetic
biological, and evolutionary investigations. We present a pseudomolecule‐scale assembly …

DNA methylation plays important roles in genome protection, regulation of gene expression
and is associated with plants development. Plant DNA methylation pattern was mediated by …
