Deskripsi

Epigenetic variation underlies various aspects of phenotypic diversity of plants. Here, He et al show a naturally occurring epiallele controls Arabidopsis leaf senescence by regulating the expression of PHEOPHYTIN PHEOPHORBIDE HYDROLASE (PPH), and is associated with local climate adaptation.
