Epigenetic regulation plays a crucial role in how plants respond to their environment, particularly in adapting to various stresses. This regulation involves modifications that affect gene expression ...

Cannabis use may leave lasting fingerprints on the human body, a study of over 1,000 adults published in 2023 suggests – not ...

One of the most fascinating discoveries in biology is that cells have mechanisms for dynamically regulating genetic expression. This ability to promote or restrict the transcription of specific genes ...

Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression. Different kinds of chromosome segment inversions have been found in ...

In plants, dioecy characterizes species that carry male and female flowers on separate plants and it occurs in about 6% of angiosperms; however, the molecular mechanisms that underlie dioecy are ...

A team of researchers led by Prof. XIAO Jun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a new way in which temperature can ...

Soybean plants often deal with and survive destructive insects and drought and if they survive they pass these “memories” ...

Epigenetic regulation in plants encompasses a range of molecular modifications that alter gene expression without changing the underlying DNA sequence. Central to this regulation are DNA methylation ...
