Epigenetics, Epigenomics and Crop Improvement
2018, Advances in Botanical ResearchCitation Excerpt :Dynamic transitions from open to closed chromatin forms and interactions among the epigenetic mechanisms are necessary to ensure proper cellular function at all stages of development and at different environmental conditions (Berger, 2007; Du, Johnson, Jacobsen, & Patel, 2015; Forderer, Zhou, & Turck, 2016; Jarillo, Piñeiro, Cubas, & Martínez-Zapater, 2009; Van Oosten, Bressan, Zhu, Bohnert, & Chinnusamy, 2014). Early and extensive investigations in Arabidopsis had provided a plethora of information concerning epigenetic mechanisms in plant growth and development that were then followed by intensive investigation in crop plants like rice, maize, barley, tomato, soybean, both at the locus-specific and genome-wide levels (in depth reviews: Gallusci, Hodgman, Teyssier, & Seymour, 2016; Kapazoglou, Papaefthimiou, & Tsaftaris, 2012; Kapazoglou & Tsaftaris, 2011; Niederhuth & Schmitz, 2017; Tsaftaris, Kapazoglou, & Darzentas, 2012; Van Oosten et al., 2014). DNA methylation is a well-conserved epigenetic mark in eukaryotes that involves the addition of a methyl group on the 5′carbon of the cytosine base to form 5-methylcytosine.
