Genome‐wide <scp>DNA</scp> methylation homeostasis influences jasmonate signaling and potato defenses against the potato tuber moth <scp> <i>Phthorimaea operculella</i> </scp>
Disrupting DNA methylation homeostasis compromises potato defenses and is associated with reduced JA-regulated defense outputs. Our findings reveal dynamic interplay between DNA methylation and JA-mediated herbivore defense in potato. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
