Heat Stress in <i>Pinus halepensis</i> Somatic Embryogenesis Induction: Effect in DNA Methylation and Differential Expression of Stress-Related Genes

In the current context of climate change, plants need to develop different mechanisms of stress tolerance and adaptation to cope with changing environmental conditions. Temperature is one of the most important abiotic stresses that forest trees have to overcome. Recent research developed in our labo...
