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...

#Photorespiration fuels C1 metabolism to support DNA methylation in Arabidopsis, linking photosynthetic C flux to #epigenome stability & showing how rising CO₂ can reshape the plant #methylome.
