DNA Methylation and Embryogenic Competence in Leaves and Callus of Napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.).
Quantitative and qualitative levels of DNA methylation were evaluated in leaves and callus of Pennisetum purpureum Schum. The level of methylation did not change during leaf differentiation or aging and similar levels of methylation were found in embryogenic and nonembryogenic callus.
