Transgenerational variations in DNA methylation induced by drought stress in two rice varieties with distinguished difference to drought resistance.

Adverse environmental conditions have large impacts on plant growth and crop production. One of the crucial mechanisms that plants use in variable and stressful natural environments is gene expression modulation through epigenetic modification. In this study, two rice varieties with different drough...
