Environmental radiation exposure triggers epigenetic DNA methylation responses in plants

This reasoning chain links evidence from environmental radiation gradients (such as Chernobyl and Fukushima) to observed genome-wide DNA methylation changes in Brassicaceae species, supporting the claim that radiation drives adaptive or stress-related methylome remodeling. It addresses limitations related to varied sample backgrounds and environmental heterogeneity.
