Regulation of gene expression by DNA methylation is crucial for defining cellular identities
and coordinating organism-wide developmental programs in many organisms. In plants, …

Epigenetic information, which may affect an organism’s phenotype, can be stored and
stably inherited in the form of cytosine DNA methylation. Changes in DNA methylation can …

Arabidopsis thaliana serves as a model organism for the study of fundamental physiological,
cellular, and molecular processes. It has also greatly advanced our understanding of …

cis-regulatory elements (CREs) encode the genomic blueprints of spatiotemporal gene
expression programs enabling highly specialized cell functions. Using single-cell genomics in six …

In flowering plants, gene body methylation (gbM) is associated with a subset of constitutively
expressed genes. It has been proposed that gbM modulates gene expression. Here, we …

Plants have unique features that evolved in response to their environments and ecosystems.
A full account of the complex cellular networks that underlie plant-specific functions is still …

Natural epigenetic variation provides a source for the generation of phenotypic diversity, but
to understand its contribution to such diversity, its interaction with genetic variation requires …

Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is an allotetraploid with closely related subgenomes
of a total size of ∼2.7 Gb. This makes the assembly of chromosomal pseudomolecules very …

The epigenome orchestrates genome accessibility, functionality, and three-dimensional
structure. Because epigenetic variation can impact transcription and thus phenotypes, it may …
