Article Abstract
Unlabelled: DNA methylation is a paramount epigenetic mark that helps balance gene expression post-transcriptionally. Its effect on specific genes determines the plant's holistic development and acclimatization during adversities. L., an allohexaploid, is a dominant cereal crop with a large genome size. Changing environmental conditions exert a profound impact on its overall yield. Here, bibliometric science mapping was employed for a nuanced understanding of the prevailing research trends in the DNA methylation study of wheat. The detailed data obtained was used to delve deep into its fundamentals, patterns and mechanism of action, to accumulate evidence of the role of DNA methylation in the regulation of gene expressions across its entire genome. This review encapsulates the methylation/demethylation players in wheat during different stages of development. It also uncloaks the differential methylation dynamics while encountering biotic and abiotic constraints, focusing on the critical function it plays in fostering immunity. The study significantly contributes to broadening our knowledge of the regulatory mechanism and plasticity of DNA methylation in wheat. It also uncovers its potential role in improving breeding programs to produce more resilient wheat varieties, stimulating further research and development in the field.

Background: During the latter stages of their development, mammalian oocytes under dramatic chromatin reconfiguration, transitioning from a non-surrounded nucleolus (NSN) to a surrounded nucleolus (SN) stage, and concomitant transcriptional silencing. Although the NSN-SN transition is known to be essential for developmental competence of the oocyte, less is known about the accompanying molecular changes. Here we examine the changes in the transcriptome and DNA methylation during the NSN to SN transition in mouse oocytes.

Childhood maltreatment exposure (CME) increases the risk of adverse long-term health consequences for the exposed individual. Animal studies suggest that CME may also influence the health and behaviour in the next generation offspring through CME-driven epigenetic changes in the germ line. Here we investigated the associated between early life stress on the epigenome of sperm in humans with history of CME.

SMAD3, a protein-coding gene, assumes a pivotal role within the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway. Notably, aberrant SMAD3 expression has been linked to various malignancies. Nevertheless, an extensive examination of the comprehensive pan-cancer impact on SMAD3's diagnostic, prognostic, and immunological predictive utility has yet to be undertaken.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the fourth leading cause of end-stage renal disease, contributing substantially to patient morbidity, mortality, and healthcare system strain. Emerging research highlights a pivotal role of epigenetics in ADPKD's pathophysiology, where mechanisms like DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA regulation significantly impact disease onset and progression. These epigenetic factors influence gene expression and regulate key processes involved in cyst formation and expansion, fibrosis, and inflammatory infiltration, thus accelerating ADPKD progression.
