As the climate crisis intensifies, traditional genetic breeding alone may not keep pace with the rapid shifts in environmental stressors. While the ...

Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression. Different kinds of chromosome segment inversions have been found in ...

Epigenetic regulation in plants encompasses a range of molecular modifications that alter gene expression without changing the underlying DNA sequence. Central to this regulation are DNA methylation ...

Salk Institute researchers find new mode of epigenetic targeting, showing for the first time that genetic sequences can direct new DNA methylation patterns in plants LA JOLLA (November 21, 2025)—All ...

One of the most fascinating discoveries in biology is that cells have mechanisms for dynamically regulating genetic expression. This ability to promote or restrict the transcription of specific genes ...

Flowering time determines reproductive success in perennial trees, yet the epigenetic mechanisms underlying sexual asynchrony remain poorly understood.
