The plant genome can respond rapidly and dynamically to stress in a manner that
overcomes the restrictions of a highly stable DNA sequence. Abiotic stresses such as …

DNA methylation is a dynamic epigenetic mechanism that plays a significant role in gene
expression and also maintains chromatin stability. The process is conserved in both plants …

Plants require optimum environmental conditions to grow, develop, and reproduce. Abiotic
and biotic stresses have direct, negative effects on the biochemical and physiological …

Epigenetics involves the heritable changes in patterns of gene expression determined by
developmental and abiotic stresses, ie, drought, cold, salinity, trace metals, and heat. Gene …

Plant improvement depends on generating phenotypic variation and selecting for
characteristics that are heritable. Classical genetics and early molecular genetics studies on …

Due to their sessile state, plants are inevitably affected by and respond to the external
environment. So far, plants have developed multiple adaptation and regulation strategies to …

DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic mark that plays important roles in maintaining
genome stability and regulating gene expression. As sessile organisms, plants have …

DNA methylation is a chromatin modification that is sometimes associated with epigenetic
regulation of gene expression. As DNA methylation can be reversible at some loci, it is …

DNA methylation and histone modification are evolutionarily conserved epigenetic
modifications that are crucial for the expression regulation of abiotic stress‐responsive …

Plants are continuously exposed to various abiotic and biotic factors limiting their growth and
reproduction. In response, they need various sophisticated ways to adapt to adverse …
