Genotype-dependent DNA methylation patterns are negatively associated with allelic variation rather than heat-induced gene expression in two contrasting potato genotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important food crop that is sensitive to high temperatures, which cause major changes in the transcriptome and a reduction in yield. In several plant species, DNA methylation has been reported to influence gene expression, particularly under abiotic stress conditions. However, the role of DNA methylation in regulating gene expression in heat-tolerant and heat-sensitive potato...
