Abstract excerpt
Histone deacetylation chemicals such as sodium butyrate can induce phenotypic epigenetic variations in okra varieties. Some of these induced variations can be transmitted across multiple generations with uniformity and stability over locations. Epigenetic modifications act as an extraneous source of variations in organisms possessing them. Epigenetic marks are observed in natural plant populations; however, the...
