DNA-methylation changes induced by salt stress in wheat Triticum aestivum (2009, background): “Demethylation of genomic DNA has occasionally been reported in several plant species with environmental factors, such as cold, heavy metals and aluminium (Finnegan and Kovac, 2000; Lizal and Relichova 2001; Alina et al., 2004; Choi and Sano 2007).”
Plant genomic DNA methylation in response to stresses： Potential applications and challenges in plant breeding (2009, methodology): “Between individual clover and flax plants, the distribution patterns of methylated loci are generally similar before and after metal stress [20], which suggests that variations in methylation pattern may occur with stress and then disappear after the stress has been removed.”
Epigenetics in plant tissue culture (2011, background): “Alterations in methylation have been reported in response to water deficiency (Labra et al. 2002), osmotic stress (Kovařik et al. 1997), heavy metals (Aina et al. 2004), and—in tissue culture—heat (Baránek et al. 2010).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, unknown): “hypermethylation and hypomethylation), can occur in relation to low temperature, osmotic stress and drought but also by exposure to heavy metals (Finnegan et al., 1998; Labra et al., 2002; Aina et al., 2004; Dyachenko et al., 2006; Hashida et al., 2006; Boyko et al., 2007; Choi and Sano, 2007).”
