Every leaf has its own timeline: Advances in plant aging
Plant Science Research WeeklyIn humans and several mammals, the alterations in DNA methylation are a critical aging biomarker also known as the ‘Epigenetic Clock’. In this study by Dai et al., the authors examined the process of DNA demethylation in Arabidopsis plants to identify if this molecular marker of aging functions similarly…
