Sources of epigenetic variation and their applications in natural populations. [PDF]
AbstractEpigenetic processes manage gene expression and products in a real‐time manner, allowing a single genome to display different phenotypes. In this paper, we discussed the relevance of assessing the different sources of epigenetic variation in natural populations.

Tuning In to Noise: Epigenetics and Intangible Variation [PDF]
In this special issue of Developmental Cell, we discuss the role of chromatin in phenotypic variation as a counterpoint to the reviews on chromatin dynamics in development and cancer. We highlight some recent work on the role of chromatin in transcriptional noise in yeast and Caenorhabditis elegans and consider the implications in understanding ...

Somatic variation has been demonstrated in tissue culture regenerated plants of many species. In the genus Populus, phenotypic variation caused by changes in 5-methylcytosine within the plant genome have been reported.

Epigenetic regulation of adaptive responses of forest tree species to the environment [PDF]
Epigenetic variation is likely to contribute to the phenotypic plasticity and adaptative capacity of plant species, and may be especially important for long-lived organisms with complex life cycles, including forest trees.

In the absence of genetic diversity, plants rely on the capacity of phenotypic plasticity to cope with shifts in environmental conditions. Understanding the mechanisms behind phenotypic plasticity and how local phenotypic adjustments are transferred to ...

Meiotically stable natural epialleles of Sadhu, a novel Arabidopsis retroposon. [PDF]
Epigenetic variation is a potential source of genomic and phenotypic variation among different individuals in a population, and among different varieties within a species.

Epigenetic variation in light of population genetic practice. [PDF]
The evolutionary impact of epigenetic variation depends on its transgenerational stability and source - whether genetically determined, environmentally induced, or due to spontaneous, genotype-independent mutations.

Epigenetics and inheritance of phenotype variation in livestock [PDF]
Epigenetic inheritance plays a crucial role in many biological processes, such as gene expression in early embryo development, imprinting and the silencing of transposons. It has recently been established that epigenetic effects can be inherited from one generation to the next.

Adjusting to global change through clonal growth and epigenetic variation
The earth is experiencing major changes in global and regional climates and changes are predicted to accelerate in the future. Many species will be under considerable pressure to evolve, to migrate, or be faced with extinction. Clonal plants would appear
