Dynamic and reversible DNA methylation changes induced by genome separation and merger of polyploid wheat

Abstract Background Wheat is a powerful genetic model for studying polyploid evolution and crop domestication. Hexaploid bread wheat was formed by two rounds of interspecific hybridization and polyploidization, processes which are often accompanied by genetic and epigenetic changes, including DNA me...
