Exploring and exploiting epigenetic variation in crops.

Genome - 1 Nov 2010

King Graham J, Amoah Stephen, Kurup Smita

Abstract excerpt

This review addresses the mechanisms by which epigenetic variation modulates plant gene regulation and phenotype. In particular we explore the scope for harnessing such processes within the context of crop genetic improvement. We focus on the role of DNA methylation as an epigenetic mark that contributes to epiallelic diversity and modulation of gene regulation. We outline the prevalence and distribution of...
