Plant intra-individual and inter-individual variation can be determined by the epigenome, a
set of covalent modifications of DNA and chromatin that can alter genome structure and …

Angiosperms show a remarkable range in genome size (GS), yet most species have small
genomes, despite the frequency of polyploidy and repeat amplification in the ancestries of …

An analysis of over 10 000 plant genome sizes (GSs) indicates that most species have
smaller genomes than expected given the incidence of polyploidy in their ancestries …

Plant biotechnologists seek to modify plants through genetic reprogramming, but our ability
to precisely control gene expression in plants is still limited. Here, we review transcription …

Sessile plants are exposed throughout their existence to environmental abiotic and biotic
stress factors, such as cold, heat, salinity, drought, dehydration, submergence, waterlogging …

Environmental stresses can result in a wide range of physiological and molecular responses
in plants. These responses can also impact epigenetic information in genomes, especially at …

Major progress has been made with genomic and genetic studies in aquaculture in the last
decade. However, research on epigenetic regulation of aquaculture traits is still at an early …

Grassland ecosystems cover c. 40% of global land area and contain c. 40% of soil organic
carbon. Understanding the effects of adding nutrients to grasslands is essential because …

Flowering plants utilize small RNA (sRNA) molecules to guide DNA methyltransferases to
genomic sequences. This RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway preferentially …

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