Genome-Wide Variation in DNA Methylation Predicts Variation in Leaf Traits in an Ecosystem-Foundational Oak Species

Genome-Wide Variation in DNA Methylation Predicts Variation in Leaf Traits in an Ecosystem-Foundational Oak Species

Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation are a potential mechanism for trees to respond to changing environments. However, it remains controversial the extent to which DNA methylation impacts ecologically important traits that influence fitness. In this study, we used reduced-representation...
