Reconsidering plant memory: Intersections between stress recovery, RNA turnover, and epigenetics (2016, background): “Naturally occurring epialleles such as the peloric variant of toadflax, Linaria vulgaris (91), and the colorless nonripening (CNR) locus from tomato (92) along with genome-wide studies (93, 94), natural variation (95, 96), and analysis of epigenetic recombinant inbred lines (97–99) demonstrate the s”
BSmooth: from whole genome bisulfite sequencing reads to differentially methylated regions (2012, background): “test [3,11-13], arbitrary cutoffs for differences in observed”
Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance: myths and mechanisms (2014, neutral): “Cycling contributes to the limited epigenetic variation found in individuals (Becker et al., 2011; Schmitz et al., 2011), whereas DNA methylation at most retrotransposons is more faithfully maintained.”
Epigenomic diversity in a global collection of Arabidopsis thaliana accessions (2016, neutral): “Although changes in DNA methylation may arise spontaneously (Becker et al., 2011; Schmitz et al., 2011), genetic and environmental factors are almost certainly more important.”
Widespread dynamic DNA methylation in response to biotic stress (2012, background): “In Arabidopsis, DNA methylation is deposited at CG, CHG, and CHH sequences (where H is A, C, or T) through three genetically separable pathways to regulate transposon silencing (6), genomic imprinting (7–9), and stable gene silencing (3, 4, 10, 11).”
