Abstract

Plant methylation is widely evident and has played crucial roles ranging in defining the epi-genome variations during abiotic and biotic stress. Variations in epi-genomic level has observed not only in the symmetrical as well as the non-symmetrical sequences. Plethora of these epi-genomic variations have been widely also demonstrated at the flowering, tissue-specific, and also at developmental stages revealing a strong association of the observed epi-alleles to the physiological state. In the present chapter, epi-genomic analysis of the Brachypodium distachyon has been described with functional workflow and illustrated methodology.
