Dynamics of DNA Methylation in Chestnut Trees Development

Dynamics of DNA Methylation in Chestnut Trees Development - Acta Horticulturae, 760, p.563, 2007 .

During life cycle trees undergoes physiological, biochemistry and morphological changes mainly controlled by the alteration of gen expression, process that are associated to change of the morphogenetic capacity and dynamics of the epigenetic factors, among which DNA methylation is one of the best know processes. Dynamics of changes in genomics DNA methylated 5-deoxicytidines during chestnut development and maturation stages was determined. Also, it was examined whether reinvigoration of chestnut trees causes variation in the methylation degree.
