Planting the seeds of defense: Stress triggers widespread epigenetic changes that aid in disease resistance

It was long thought that methylation, a crucial part of normal organism development, was a static modification of DNA that could not be altered by environmental conditions. New findings, however, suggest that the DNA of organisms exposed to Stress undergo changes in DNA methylation patterns that alter how genes are regulated. read more..
