Epigenetic variation as a new plant breeding tool: A review
Open accessAbstract
Epigenetic variations are inherited or uninherited effects that occur beyond the DNA sequence of an individual. However, DNA sequence has a critical role in shaping epigenetic variation. The great diversity of epigenetic markers confers an advantage of various uses without interrupting its highly environmental independence. The epigenetic effects are highlighted by many vital events, especially the regulation of gene expression in hybrid vigor and inbreeding depression, even in the absence of genetic diversity. However, various stress genes can include many repeats that undergo alternately methylation and demethylation states to regulate gene expression positively or negatively. After all the arguments raised on the genetic basis of hybrid vigor in its both traditional and molecular aspects, the term “epigenome” strongly emerged as one of the main causes of performance deviation among offspring. These include both histone and DNA biochemical modifications, which play a key role during successive stages of development and differentiation in addition to the regulation of gene expression in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Evidence has shown a correlation between unique DNA methylation and heterosis in many plant species as well as between inbreeding and the sharp decline in fitness of most naturally cross-pollinated species. Although detailed molecular mechanisms laying behind many of these plant breeding aspects remain little understood, epigenetics has provided some explanations.

Epigenetic variability observed at the phenotype level reflects adaptations of cellular processes to constraints of in vitro cultivation, which usually implies sequential dedifferentiation and re-differentiation.
“This epigenetic variability, which frequently is observed at phenotype level, reflects, in reality, the adaptations of the cellular processes to the various constraints of the in vitro cultivation technology, that usually implies sequential dedifferentiation (formation of callus) and re-differentiation (regeneration of plants) [91,95,96,97,98,99,100].”
From Somaclonal Variation—Advantage or Disadvantage in Micropropagation of the Medicinal Plants (2023) · cites this paper as [100]
Sections 10 and 12 (page unavailable) link in-vitro culture stresses to epigenetic instability and describe phenotypic differences in regenerated plants. The copy does not say that cultivation usually proceeds through sequential callus-forming dedifferentiation and plant-regenerating re-differentiation, so that part of the claim is unsupported.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
