Genome-wide methylome stability and parental effects in the worldwide distributed Lombardy poplar Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek
Background
Despite the increasing number of epigenomic studies in plants, little is known about the forces that shape the methylome in long-lived woody perennials. The Lombardy poplar offers an ideal opportunity to investigate the impact of the individual environmental history of trees on the methylome.
Results
We present the results of three interconnected experiments on Lombardy poplar. In the first experiment, we ...
