Abstract excerpt
Deep-space conditions exert severe stress on plant genome stability, gene expression, epigenetic modification, and cell differentiation. In this study, multiomics analysis is used to observe changes in rice at the molecular and cellular levels after deep-space flight, including an increase in the frequency and types of mutations. While overall DNA methylation levels do not significantly change, CHG methylation...
