Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Sibling Arabidopsis plants showed highly consistent physiological responses across experiments.
- Intervention effect Fluctuating and square light regimes produced many differences in DNA methylation patterns.
- Association Light pattern regimes yielded more methylation differences than light intensities.
- Association Methylation differences accompanied significant gene expression changes, some correlated with methylation.
- Intervention effect MCCA knockout significantly affected photosynthetic efficiency.
- Observation Thousands of transposable element copies were differentially methylated between light regimes.
