Within‐species diversity is an important driver of ecological and evolutionary processes. Recent research has found that plants can harbour significant epigenetic diversity, but its extent, stability and ecological significance in natural populations is largely unexplored.
We analysed genetic, epigenetic and phenotypic variation in a large number of natural grassland populations of Plantago lanceolata...
Summary
Heritable gains or losses of cytosine methylation can arise stochastically in plant genomes independently of DNA sequence changes. These so‐called ‘spontaneous epimutations’ appear to be a byproduct of imperfect DNA methylation maintenance and epigenome reinforcement events that occur in specialized cell types. There is continued interest in the plant epigenetics community in trying...
