Human-and nature-induced hypersaline conditions in coastal systems can lead to profound
alterations of the structure and vitality of seagrass meadows and their socio-ecological …

Plants can develop stress memory as a response to various abiotic stresses, but the
underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Most of the knowledge concerning the …

Environmental stresses can result in a wide range of physiological and molecular responses
in plants. These responses can also impact epigenetic information in genomes, especially at …

Seawater warming and increased incidence of marine heatwaves (MHW) are threatening
the integrity of coastal marine habitats including seagrasses, which are particularly …

Background In plants, epigenetic stress memory has so far been found to be largely
transient. Here, we wanted to assess the heritability of heat stress-induced epigenetic and …

Seagrasses' ability to store information after exposure to stress (ie stress memory) and to
better respond to further stress (ie priming) have recently been observed, although the …

Background In several eukaryotes, DNA methylation occurs within the coding regions of
many genes, termed gene body methylation (GbM). Whereas the role of DNA methylation on …

The intensification of anomalous events of seawater warming and the co-occurrence with
local anthropogenic stressors are threatening coastal marine habitats, including seagrasses …

Due to global change, many species are shifting their distribution and are thereby
confronted with novel thermal conditions at the moving range edges. Especially during the …

DNA methylation (DNAm) has been intensively studied in terrestrial plants in response to
environmental changes, but its dynamic changes in a temporal scale remain unexplored in …
