plant evolutionBeing sessile organisms, plants show a high degree of developmental plasticity to cope with a constantly changing environment. While plasticity in plants is largely controlled genetically, recent studies have demonstrated the importance of epigenetic mechanisms, especially DNA methylation, for...
Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in animals has increasingly been reported in recent years. Controversies, however, surround this unconventional mode of heredity, especially in mammals, for several reasons. First, its existence itself has been qu
Evolution, MolecularCpG IslandsDNA ReplicationEpigenesis, GeneticDNA MethylationPlantsPlant DevelopmentIn plants, newly acquired epigenetic states of transcriptional gene activity are readily transmitted to the progeny. This is in contrast to mammals, where only rare cases of transgenerational inheritance of ...

Most evolutionary new centromeres (ENC) are composed of large arrays of satellite DNA and surrounded by segmental duplications. However, the hypothesis is that ENCs are seeded in an anonymous sequence and only over time have acquired the complexity of “normal” centromeres. Up to now evidence ...
Environmentally induced epigenetic transgenerational inheritance provides an additionalmechanism to consider in disease etiology and areas of biology such as evolution [2, 13]. The current study was designed to provide insights into how a male germ line with analtered epigenome can transmit a variety ...
