Plants are continuously exposed to a vast multiplicity of stressful factors, both of biotic or
abiotic nature, that negatively affect their development, yield, and reproductive success. To …

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 …

Epigenetics refers to the heritable changes in gene activity without altering the DNA
sequence. DNA methylation along with other epigenetic mechanisms is involved in the …

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 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 …

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 …

Background Climate change has had a tremendous impact on the environment in general
as well as agricultural crops grown in these situations as time passed. Agricultural …

Background A review of research shows that methylation in plants is more complex and
sophisticated than in microorganisms and animals. Overall, studies on the effects of abiotic …

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 …
