🧬Does DNA methylation really control gene expression in plants? Our new paper challenges this assumption — showing that methylation and transcription often avoid one another rather than align. Why is that? acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #Epigenetics #DNAmethylation #GeneRegulation

#TansleyReview: #Mycorrhizas: Epigenetic Regulation & Transgenerational Legacy 📖 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... by Beltrán-Torres et al. @irissammarco.bsky.social @stephane-maury.bsky.social @vtec.bsky.social Figure was created in BioRender (BioRender.com/8rq6i2c).

🧬How do mycorrhizal symbioses shape plant plasticity across generations? Epigenetic regulation may fine-tune these mutualisms, modulating plant responses and potentially transmitting adaptive legacies shaped by host lifespan and reproduction mode.⬇️ nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

🧬Does DNA methylation inheritance differ in clonal and sexual offspring? In wild strawberry, we found higher methylation inheritance in clonal offspring linked to stronger transgenerational plasticity under climate stress. ⬇️⬇️ academic.oup.com/aob/article-... @vtec.bsky.social @ibotcz.bsky.social

🚨Just out! 🚨 Our new review explores how reversible sex changes in plants may be key players in plant evolution. Turns out, sex in plants isn't as fixed as we thought. Epigenetics and the environment can flip the script, even within one generation! ⬇️⬇️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
