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

In response to abiotic stresses, plants mount comprehensive stress-specific responses
which mediate signal transduction cascades, transcription of relevant responsive genes and …

MSH1 is a plant-specific protein. RNAi suppression of MSH1 results in phenotype variability
for developmental and stress response pathways. Segregation of the RNAi transgene …

Abiotic stressors are one of the major factors affecting agricultural output. Plants have
evolved adaptive systems to respond appropriately to various environmental cues. These …

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 …

Background: Plants subjected to the novel environment of spaceflight show transcriptomic
changes that resemble aspects of several terrestrial abiotic stress responses. Under …

Environmental conditions are key factors in the modulation of the epigenetic mechanisms
regulating gene expression in plants. Specifically, the maintenance of cell cultures in optimal …

Inbreeding is the crossing of closely related individuals in nature or a plantation or self-
pollinating plants, which produces plants with high homozygosity. This process can reduce …

Prions are often considered as molecular memory devices, generating reproducible memory
of a conformational change. Prion-like proteins (PrLPs) have been widely demonstrated to …

Abstract S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), which is synthesized from methionine and ATP
catalyzed by S-adenosylmethionine synthetase (SAMS), is an important methyl donor in …
