The first natural plant mutant for which the molecular basis was determined to be an epimutation rather than a change in DNA sequence was a peloric variant of toadflax, Linaria vulgaris. Remarkably, the second example of ...

Vitamin E (VTE) content is a low heritability nutritional trait for which the genetic determinants are poorly understood. Here, we focus on a previously detected major tomato VTE quantitative trait loci (QTL; mQTL 9-2-6) ...

Tolerance to water deficits was evolutionarily relevant to the conquest of land by primitive plants. In this context, epigenetic events may have played important roles in the establishment of drought stress responses. We ...

Uno de los mecanismos más importante en la evolución de las plantas es la hibridación interespecífica. Este mecanismo induce cambios en el genoma que abarcan tanto alteraciones genéticas como epigenéticas. Estudios recientes ...

The traditional concept that the phenotype of an organism is the resultant of the genetic code and the influence from the environment has recently acquired implications not previously suspected. Evidence has been accumulating ...
