In plants, fruit ripening is a coordinated developmental process that requires the change in
expression of hundreds to thousands of genes to modify many biochemical and …

Epigenetic signals can affect plant phenotype and fitness and be stably inherited across
multiple generations. Epigenetic regulation plays a key role in the mechanisms of plant …

Climate change challenges the adaptive capacity of several forest tree species in the face of
increasing drought and rising temperatures. Therefore, understanding the mechanistic …

DNA methylation and histone post-translational modifications have been described as
epigenetic regulation mechanisms involved in developmental transitions in plants, including …

Renewable energy resources such as biomass are crucial for a sustainable global society.
Trees are a major source of lignocellulosic biomass, which can vary in response to different …

Forest trees are complex perennial organisms that are adapted to the local environment in
the results of prevailing climate conditions in population history. Because they lead a …

Vegetative propagation through somatic embryogenesis is an effective method to produce
elite varieties and can be applied as a tool to study the response of plants to different …

Epigenetic modifications, including chromatin modifications and DNA methylation, play key
roles in regulating gene expression in both plants and animals. Transmission of epigenetic …

Leaf fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is widely used as an environmental stress index, including
pollution. Besides FA, leaf bilateral traits can have directional asymmetry (DA) and …

The responses of plants to recurrent stress may differ from their responses to a single stress
event. In this study, we investigated whether clonal plants can remember past environments …
