Epigenomic regulation underlies spaceflight adaptation in Arabidopsis

This reasoning chain connects the effects of spaceflight on organ-specific DNA methylation patterns and gene expression, ultimately supporting the claim that epigenomic modification is a key contributor to physiological adaptation in plants to spaceflight. It synthesizes associations between methylation, gene regulation, and the prominence of ROS signaling genes.
