Description 870-874
Rapidly growing industrialization and increased need for transportation have led to environmental pollution, particularly
heavy metals. Efficient monitoring would help planning effective strategies to curb such increasing pollution. In this context, we
studied the epigenetic changes in the bryophyte Greater Fork-moss, Dicranum majus Turner so as to use to monitor the
environmental stress conditions due to accumulation of heavy metals and toxic organic compounds. The hypothesis is that the
DNAm (DNA methylation) signatures reflect changes in the environmental conditions, and thus could serve as an alternate
monitoring tool to study environmental pollution. The vegetative form of D. majus was collected from two different
geographical locations where one was near the main road (MR) and another in the forest area (FS). DNAm rate was found
10.41±2.009 and 23.37±2.94 in MR and FS, respectively (P
