Abstract excerpt
In this study,two elite rice inbred lines, Nipponbare and Mastumae were selected and irrigated with naphthalene solution with different concentrations. Epigenetic instabilities in the blade of the plants in tillering and heading stage were assessed by MSAP marks. The results showed that naphthalene exposure induced epigenetic variations in all the samples based on different levels and patterns of DNA methylation....
