Massive Loss of DNA Methylation in Nitrogen-, but Not in Phosphorus-Deficient Zea mays Roots Is Poorly Correlated With Gene Expression Differences

Massive Loss of DNA Methylation in Nitrogen-, but Not in Phosphorus-Deficient Zea mays Roots Is Poorly Correlated With Gene Expression Differences

DNA methylation in plants plays a role in transposon silencing, genome stability and gene expression regulation. Environmental factors alter the methylation pattern of DNA and recently nutrient stresses, such as phosphate starvation, were shown to alter DNA methylation. Furthermore, DNA methylation...
