  abstract = {{DNA} methylation was analyzed in {A}cacia mangium {W}illd. buds collected from in vitro and field growing shoots from the same clone and its juvenile offspring. {S}hoot tips from in vitro microshoots showed higher levels of {DNA} methylation for juvenile (23.4%) than for mature (21.8%) plant material, irrespective of their morphology. {L}ikewise, under the same in vitro conditions, the apical buds collected from microshoots exhibiting the juvenile morphology displayed higher {DNA} methylation rates (23.2%) than those characterized by the mature phyllode morphological type (22.1%), regardless of the age of the plant material source. {I}n outdoor conditions, apical buds collected from mature tree growing shoots were significantly less methylated (20.9%) than the resting axillary buds located just underneath (25.2%) and than the apical buds from the in vitro microshoots of the same clone and mature-like phyllode morphology (22.6%). {O}verall, the {DNA} methylation levels found for our {A}cacia mangium plant materials were consistent with those reported for other {A}ngiosperms, but showed, similarly to other recent findings in different species, that {DNA} methylation in plants does not always increase with ageing. {T}his was discussed in relation to other phase-related traits and more particularly foliage characteristics, which are conspicuous markers of ageing in this heteroblastic species.},
