DECREASE IN DNA METHYLATION 1-mediated epigenetic regulation maintains gene expression balance required for heterosis in Arabidopsis thaliana

Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, is characterized by superior phenotypic performance in F₁ hybrids compared to their parental lines, and its expression is influenced by both genetic and epigenetic factors. In this study, we investigated the role of epigenetic regulation, particularly DNA methylation medi... View More
