The genetic basis of epigenetic variation and its consequences for adaptation.

Abstract excerpt

Recent population genomic studies in plants have shed new light on natural epigenetic variation by identifying key genetic determinants, "trans modifiers," that influence epigenetic states genome-wide and their interplay with environmental factors. Here, we review this progress by focusing on the epigenetic control of transposition and life-cycle transitions to highlight the ecological consequences of this...
