| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This work was aimed to understand the factors affecting the efficient induction and stabilization of epigenetic changes from the view point of establishing modification of plant traits via epigenetic control of gene expression as a tool for molecular breeding. Epigenetic changes that occurred under a specific condition in plants that had RNA silencing were analyzed. The patterns of dynamic changes in small RNA production and cytosine methylation, together with the stability of the altered state, were uncovered.
