DNA Demethylation in Response to Heat Stress in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT: Environmental stress is one of the most important factors affecting plant growth and development. Recent studies have shown that epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, play a key role in adapting plants to stress conditions. Here, we analyzed the dynamics of changes in the level of DNA methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. (Brassicaceae) under the influence of heat stress. For this purpose, whole-genome sequencing of sodium bisulfite-treated DNA was performed. The analysis was performed at seven time points, taking into account the control conditions, heat stress, and recovery to control conditions after the stress treatment was discontinued. In our study we observed decrease in the level of DNA methylation under the influence of heat stress, especially after retu
