Studies of DNA methylation and flowering time genes in early-flowering flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) lines induced by 5-azacytidine
Pure-breeding, early-flowering lines of flax, derived from treatment of germinating seeds with 5-azacytdine in 1990, flower 7-13 days before controls, have fewer leaves, are shorter, and have hypomethylated total DNA, relative to control lines. This thesis examines the changes in DNA methylation le...
