During my PhD program, my work has been addressed to the study of the role of epigenetic modifications in aging and in age-related phenotypes. Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression that do not involve ...

Due to their sessile life style, plants are continuously exposed to a variety of abiotic and biotic stresses which could potentially hinder their growth, development, productivity and survival. In this scenario, it appears ...

Epigenetic modifications of DNA contribute to chromatin remodeling process and gene expression regulation playing a relevant role on the development of eukaryotic organisms. DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mark ...
