Arabidopsis thaliana Roots Exposed to Extracellular Self-DNA: Evidence of Epigenetic Effects
Main functional indications of association between DNA methylation and gene expression involved hypomethylation and downregulation of genes related to nucleotide/nucleoside metabolism (ATP synthase subunit) and cell wall structure (XyG synthase), consistent with previous observations from metabolomics and physiological studies. Further confirmation of these findings will contribute to improving our understanding of the plant molecular response to self-DNA and its implications in stress responses.
