[HTML][HTML] Effect of Cryopreservation and Post-Cryopreservation Somatic Embryogenesis on the Epigenetic Fidelity of Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.)

…, A Wetten, C Marcelino Rodríguez López - PLoS …, 2016 - journals.plos.org
While cocoa plants regenerated from cryopreserved somatic embryos can demonstrate high
levels of phenotypic variability, little is known about the sources of the observed variability. …

[HTML][HTML] A Hypomethylated population of Brassica rapa for forward and reverse Epi-genetics

S Amoah, S Kurup, CM Rodriguez Lopez, SJ Welham… - BMC plant biology, 2012 - Springer
Background Epigenetic marks superimposed on the DNA sequence of eukaryote chromosomes
provide agility and plasticity in terms of modulating gene expression, ontology, and …

Epigenetic regulation of sex ratios may explain natural variation in self-fertilization rates

A Ellison, CM Rodriguez Lopez… - … of the Royal …, 2015 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Self-fertilization (selfing) favours reproductive success when mate availability is low, but renders
populations more vulnerable to environmental change by reducing genetic variability. A …

Accumulation of mutations in genes associated with sexual reproduction contributed to the domestication of a vegetatively propagated staple crop, enset

…, DE Mather, CM Rodríguez López - Horticulture …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is a drought tolerant, vegetatively propagated
crop that was domesticated in Ethiopia. It is a staple food for more than 20 million people …

[HTML][HTML] Botrytis cinerea Loss and Restoration of Virulence during In Vitro Culture Follows Flux in Global DNA Methylation

…, MJ Wilkinson, CM Rodriguez Lopez - International Journal of …, 2022 - mdpi.com
Pathogenic fungi can lose virulence after protracted periods of culture, but little is known of
the underlying mechanisms. Here, we present the first analysis of DNA methylation flux at a …

[HTML][HTML] Greenhouse spatial effects detected in the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) epigenome underlie stochasticity of DNA methylation

…, ES Scott, B Berger, CM Rodriguez Lopez - Frontiers in Plant …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Environmental cues are known to alter the methylation profile of genomic DNA, and thereby
change the expression of some genes. A proportion of such modifications may become …

Environmental conditions and agronomic practices induce consistent global changes in DNA methylation patterns in grapevine (Vitis vinifera cv Shiraz)

…, J Breen, A Metcalfe, R DeBei, C Collins, CMR Lopez - BioRxiv, 2017 - biorxiv.org
Fruit attributes that affect wine quality are thought to be largely driven by the interaction of
grapevine’s genetic characteristics with environmental factors (ie climate, soil and topography) …

Cryopreservation of cocoa (Theobroma cacao l.) somatic embryos-is somaclonal variation an issue?

R Adu-Gyamfi, JY Fang, CMR Lopez, A Wetten - Cryoletters, 2010 - research.aber.ac.uk
Increasing demand for improved yield, quality and stress and disease resistance in cocoa (Theobroma
cacao L.) highlight the importance of securely preserving the diversity of the …

DNA methylation plays a role on in vitro culture induced loss of virulence in Botrytis cinerea

…, A Akinyemi, MJ Wilkinson, CM Rodriguez Lopez - bioRxiv, 2016 - biorxiv.org
Little is known about the mechanisms causing loss of virulence in pathogenic fungi as a
result of protracted culture. We studied the extent to which patterns of DNA methylation varied …
