【Press release】Survival Tactics: AI-Driven Insights into Chromatin Changes for Winter Dormancy in Axillary Buds
2024.08.22
Epigenetics confers a survival advantage in plants to endure harsh weather by inducing bud dormancy.
Environmental factors or intrinsic signals trigger the transition between growth and dormancy.
Assistant Professor Takanori Saito and his colleagues explore the role of chromatin and transcriptional changes in the bud and further analyze data using artificial intelligence models.
The findings of this study highlight epigenetic strategies to overcome the effects of short winters during global warming for plant survival.
These findings not only advance our understanding of plant resilience but also pave the way for developing sustainable agricultural practices, ensuring food security in the face of climate change.
This new study has published in Tree Physiology on June 21, 2024.
