Method for producing plants with tolerance to abiotic stress, based on the identification and selection of features at the level of DNA methylation in a population of Plants
Claim 1: a method to produce a plant with high efficiency in the use of Energy from a collection of plants of the same species or VarietyCharacterized in that it comprises the following steps: a) providing a population that consists of a Plurality of individual plants； (b) to obtain a sample of Genomic DNA from individual plants of the collection / population in at least a First and a second stage of DevelopmentIn such a way that it is possible to continue the cultivation of individual plants from which the samples have been taken； (c) to determine the methylation Profile of Genomic DNA obtained in at least two stages in the development of each of these individual plants； (d) identify the character Epigenetic u00edsticas each of those individual plants to assess changes in the profile of MEtilaci u00f3n DNA between Said first and said Second Phase； and (e) to identify and select at least one Plant which has a relatively high occurrence of epigenetic characteristics of a High Efficiency in energy use, compared with other plants of this population. TheWhere these epigenetic features are selected from (i) The Gain and / or loss of methylated cytosines, preferably of mcg and / or, IF mchh； and / or (ii) the absence of changes in C, preferably in CG, CHG and CHH / or.Reivindicación 1: Un método para producir una planta con una eficiencia elevada en el uso de la energía a partir de una colección de plantas de la misma especie o variedad, caracterizado porque comprende los siguientes pasos: a) proveer una población que consiste en una pluralidad de plantas individuales； b) obtener una muestra de ADN genómico de las plantas individuales de dicha colección/población en al menos una primera y una segunda etapa del desarrollo, de una manera tal que es posible continuar el cultivo de las plantas individuales de las que se han tomado dichas muestras； c) determinar el perfil de metilación del ADN genómico obtenido en al menos dos etapas del desarrollo de cada una de dichas
