Photorespiration is linked to DNA methylation by formate as a one-carbon source - Nature Plants
This study reveals that Arabidopsis reassimilates formate produced during photorespiration via the cytosolic folate cycle to fuel DNA methylation, forming a metabolic–epigenetic bridge that links elev...
