Today I traveled from Clermont-Ferrand (France) to Coxyde (Belgium, 22.000 inhabitants). 9h, 5 trains, 2 metros, 1 bus. Everything on time !!Public transportation is wonderful (when it works ๐).

Vol 76 | Issue 9 | 2025 Journal of Experimental Botany Special Issue: Epigenetic Plasticity Cover image: This cover design features an octopus in a glass jar, symbolizing chromatin and the nucleus. The artwork is rendered in the Ukiyo-e (ๆตฎไธ็ตต) style. The ancient Chinese characters, written in cursive script (่ๆธ), represent โthe dynamic regulation of chromatinโ. The Yang seal (ๆฑๆ) in seal script (็ฏๆธ) signifies โchromatinโ; the Yin seal (็ฝๆ) signifies โnucleusโ (credit: Dr. Yihan Dong).

Box 1 The organization of genomic DNA into chromatin permits a dynamic regulation of the gene expression programme. Environmental and developmental signals that need to translate into an altered gene expression programme may elicit changes at the level of chromatin organization including the methylation of cytosines in the DNA molecule, the incorporation of specific histone variants into the nucleosome, and the setting of histone post-translational modifications. Together these different layers of epigenetic information allow the control of genome plasticity (e.g. by controlling mobile genetic elements), and permit the establishment of transient or heritable gene expression states to orchestrate developmental programmes and stress responses. The development of tools including cytidine analogues or epigenome editing provides the opportunity to artificially interfere with epigenetic regulation and to investigate chromatin-based epigenetic mechanisms.

Congratulations !
Wonderful visit at the CBGP in Madrid, Spain. Thanks M. Piรฑeiro for the invitation.
Pleased to discuss our work and meet members of our MSCA
EpiSeedLink consortium and a former iGReD member now thriving in Spain.
I am interested, thanks
