The assessment of epigenetic diversity, differentiation, and structure in the 'Fuji' mutation line implicates roles of epigenetic modification in the occurrence of different mutant groups as well as spontaneous mutants.

The 'Fuji' line includes many varieties with a similar genetic background and consistent inducement factors with epigenetic occurrence, thus it may be considered an ideal candidate for epigenetic research. In this study, 91 bud mutations of 'Fuji' apple were used as the test mate...
