Aging drives a program of DNA methylation decay in plant organs.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 29 Jan 2026

Dai Dawei, Chen Ken, Tao Jingwen, Williams Ben P

Abstract excerpt

Plants display a wide range of life spans and aging rates. Although dynamic changes to DNA methylation are a hallmark of aging in mammals, it is unclear whether similar molecular signatures reflect rates of aging and organism life span in plants. In this work, we show that the short-lived model plant Arabidopsis thaliana exhibits a loss of epigenetic integrity during aging, which causes DNA methylation decay and...
