Abstract:
Biological phenomena defined as having an "epigenetic" component (according to various definitions) have been extensively studied in plant systems and illuminated many mechanisms by which gene expression is regulated and patterns of expression inherited through cell divisions. This second volume of Plant Epigenetics and Epigenomics: Methods in Molecular Biology builds on the work of its predecessor to describe cutting-edge tools for plant epigenetic and epigenomic research, and embrace crop and forestry species as well as natural populations and further insights from model species. In this chapter, the historical background to plant epigenetic and epigenomic research is summarized, and key considerations for the interpretation of current data are outlined.
