Epigenetic correlates of plant phenotypic plasticity: DNA methylation differs between prickly and nonprickly leaves in heterophyllous Ilex aquifolium (Aquifoliaceae) trees (2013, methodology): “There have been recent suggestions, for example, that changes in DNA methylation independent of sequence variation may underlie phenotypic plasticity, but this possibility remains essentially untested (Bossdorf, Richards & Pigliucci, 2008; Bossdorf et al., 2010; Richards, Bossdorf & Pigliucci, 2010;”
Introduction to a Special Issue on Genotype by Environment Interaction (2016, background): “Such epigenetic modulation has been proposed as a mechanism affecting plasticity levels of specific plant genotypes across environments (Reinders et al., 2009; Bossdorf et al., 2010; Mirouze and Paszkowski, 2011; Pecinka and Mittelsten-Scheid, 2012; Zhang et al., 2013).”
