Gene body methylation (gbM) is an epigenetic mark where gene exons are methylated in
the CG context only, as opposed to CHG and CHH contexts (where H stands for A, C, or T) …

Sequencing technologies are evolving at a rapid pace, enabling the generation of massive
amounts of data in multiple dimensions (eg, genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomic …

Epigenetic modifications play a vital role in the preservation of genome integrity and in the
regulation of gene expression. DNA methylation, one of the key mechanisms of epigenetic …

Abstract Background The sugar kelp Saccharina latissima is a Laminariales species widely
distributed in the Northern Hemisphere. Its physiology and ecology have been studied since …

Recent research in plant epigenetics has increased our understanding of how epigenetic
variability can contribute to adaptive phenotypic plasticity in natural populations. Studies …

Plants have several mechanisms to adapt or acclimate to environmental stress.
Morphological, physiological, or genetic changes are examples of complex plant responses …

DNA cytosine methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism in genomic DNA. In most
land plants, it is absent in the chloroplast DNA. We detected methylation in the chloroplast …

The remarkable capacity of bryophytes to tolerate extremely challenging abiotic conditions
allows us to enhance our understanding of the diversity of molecular mechanisms involved …

Quercus section Cyclobalanopsis represents a dominant woody lineage in East Asian
evergreen broadleaved forests. Regardless of its ecological and economic importance, little …

Genome editing tools could precisely and efficiently target plant genomes leading to the
