Epigenetic Marks, DNA Damage Markers, or Both? The Impact of Desiccation and Accelerated Aging on Nucleobase Modifications in Plant Genomic DNA

Modifications of DNA nucleobases are present in all forms of life. The purpose of these modifications in eukaryotic cells, however, is not always clear. Although the role of 5-methylcytosine (m<sup>5</sup>C) in epigenetic regulation and the maintenance of stability in plant genomes is be...
