Salt stress induced variation in DNA methylation pattern and its influence on gene expression in contrasting rice genotypes.

BACKGROUND: Salinity is a major environmental factor limiting productivity of crop plants including rice in which wide range of natural variability exists. Although recent evidences implicate epigenetic mechanisms for modulating the gene expression in plants under environmental stresses, epigenetic...
