Reports tissue-specific DNA methylation changes in Arabidopsis due to mild environmental fluctuations, suggesting adaptive responses to seasonal changes.
Summary statement Mild seasonal changes reshape DNA methylation in Arabidopsis . Shortened days markedly alter CG methylation at TEs in leaves, while lower temperature is associated with coordinated changes in genic CG methylation across leaves and embryos. Embryo demethylation hotspots are environmentally sensitive.
