DNA methylation is associated with transcriptional variability and transposon-driven trans-regulation under drought in wheat landraces

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is essential for food security, but increasingly frequent droughts threaten yields. While wheat’s transcriptional responses to drought are well characterised, DNA methylation’s role remains poorly understood. Wheat landrace panels possess extensive genomic diversity shaped by long-...
