Epigenetic and genetic variation between two behaviorally isolated species of Neoconocephalus (Orthoptera: Tettigonioidea) [PDF]

Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2019
Epigenetic variation allows for rapid changes in phenotypes without alterations to nucleotide sequences. These epigenetic signatures may diverge over time among isolated populations.

Inactive or moderately active human promoters are enriched for inter-individual epialleles. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Inter-individual epigenetic variation, due to genetic, environmental or random influences, is observed in many eukaryotic species. In mammals, however, the molecular nature of epiallelic variation has been poorly defined, partly due to the ...

Exploring epigenetic variation for breeding climate resilient apple crops [PDF]

, 2022
Climate change with warmer winter and spring temperatures poses major challenges to apple fruit production. Long-term observations confirm the trend toward earlier flowering, which leads to an increased risk of frost damage.

A Role for Epigenetic Regulation in the Adaptation and Stress Responses of Non-model Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
In recent years enormous progress has been made in understanding the role of epigenetic regulation response to environmental stimuli, especially in response to stresses.

Anticipatory Behavior of the Clonal Plant Fragaria vesca

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Active foraging for patchy resources is a crucial feature of many clonal plant species. It has been recently shown that plants’ foraging for resources can be facilitated by anticipatory behavior via association of resource position with other ...

Quantitative Epigenetics: A New Avenue for Crop Improvement

Epigenomes, 2020
Plant breeding conventionally depends on genetic variability available in a species to improve a particular trait in the crop. However, epigenetic diversity may provide an additional tier of variation.

Cytosine methylation patterns suggest a role of methylation in plastic and adaptive responses to temperature in European grayling (Thymallus thymallus) populations

Epigenetics, 2021
Temperature is a key environmental parameter affecting both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms, particularly ectotherms. Rapid organismal responses to thermal environmental changes have been described for several ectotherms; however, the ...

Genetic, environmental and stochastic factors in monozygotic twin discordance with a focus on epigenetic differences

, 2012
Genetic-epidemiological studies on monozygotic (MZ) twins have been used for decades to tease out the relative contributions of genes and the environment to a trait.

The assessment of epigenetic diversity, differentiation, and structure in the 'Fuji' mutation line implicates roles of epigenetic modification in the occurrence of different mutant groups as well as spontaneous mutants.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The 'Fuji' line includes many varieties with a similar genetic background and consistent inducement factors with epigenetic occurrence, thus it may be considered an ideal candidate for epigenetic research.

Adiposity associated DNA methylation signatures in adolescents are related to leptin and perinatal factors

Epigenetics, 2022
Epigenetics links perinatal influences with later obesity. We identifed differentially methylated CpG (dmCpG) loci measured at 17 years associated with concurrent adiposity measures and examined whether these were associated with hsCRP, adipokines, and ...
