    Plant-RRBS: DNA Methylome Profiling Adjusted to Plant Genomes, Utilizing Efficient Endonuclease Combinations, for Multi-Sample Studies

    In plants, methylation at cytosines often leads to changes in gene expression and inactivation of transposable elements. Changes in cytosine methylation (epimutations) might produce epialleles with distinct ph...

    Kinematic Analysis of Cell Division and Expansion

    Plant growth is readily analysed at the macroscopic level by measuring size and/or mass. Although it is commonly known that the rate of growth is determined by cell division and subsequent cell expansion, rela...
