Epigenetic modifications modulate gene expression in diverse plants

This inference chain connects observations that DNA methylation and epigenomic modifications play roles in regulating gene expression and developmental processes across plant species, while also highlighting studies suggesting the contribution of methylation can be context- or species-dependent.
