Epigenetic regulation plays a crucial role in how plants respond to their environment, particularly in adapting to various stresses. This regulation involves modifications that affect gene ...

Growing up Hard Sonia Sultan and Jacob Herman of Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, peeked into that box with experiments on a small flowering annual, Polygonum persicaria. They grew some ...

The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK Leibniz Institute (IPK) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has ...

elegans and potentially in certain plants. All it takes for epigenetics to affect evolution, Oldroyd says, is a change in gene expression—triggered, for instance, by an environmental perturbation—and ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

Lemons owe their signature tang to citric acid, yet the molecular mechanisms governing its accumulation have long remained a ...

Our project aims to develop a more precise method for introducing epigenetic modifications in plants. This adjustable epi-mutagenesis offers a new tool to select for varieties with desirable ...

The epigenetic state of these lines was compared to wild-type plants. Finally, the effect of the chromosomal rearrangements on the activity of genes was analyzed. "Our results indicated that none ...
