Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Chilling, planting density, rubbing, cutting and repeated subculture generally decrease plant DNA methylation.
- Observation Salt stress has the opposite effect on plant DNA methylation.
- Observation Pathogenic infection can cause genome-wide hypermethylation.
- Observation Pathogenic infection can cause hypomethylation of resistance-related genes.
- Mechanism The review suggests stress-induced methylation changes may contribute to plant stress adaptation.
