The answer is true.

DNA methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA, more precisely to its nucleotides adenine or cytosine (they are methylated) via enzymes called DNA methyltransferases. This process as a result can change the activity of a DNA. For example, if DNA of gene promoter is methylated gene transcription is repressed. The opposite process is DNA demethylation.

So, DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism meaning that gene activity can be changed and inherited that way, but the sequence  of DNA remains the same.

Develop plants that are unable to reproduce

By producing sterile plants, the scientists may observe the effect of their presence on the ecosystem without the risk of the plants reproducing too quickly to be controlled. If the plant does not act as an invasive specie and is promoting the ecosystem in which it is placed, non-sterile varieties of the plant may be developed. However, if the plant seems to have an overbearing competitive advantage and is easily over taking the other species' resources, it should not be introduced.
