Global warming has increased the frequency of extreme high temperature events. High
temperature is a major abiotic stress that limits the growth and production of plants …

Starch is a significant store of sugars, and the starch-sugar interconversion in source and
sink tissues plays a profound physiological role in all plants. In this review, we discuss how …

In plants, cytosine DNA methylations (5mCs) can happen in three sequence contexts as
CpG, CHG, and CHH (where H= A, C, or T), which play different roles in the regulation of …

Background Soil microbiomes are considered a cornerstone of the next green revolution,
and plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are critical for microbiome engineering …

Plant development processes are regulated by epigenetic alterations that shape nuclear
structure, gene expression, and phenotypic plasticity; these alterations can provide the plant …

Global food security is one of the utmost essential challenges in the 21st century in providing
enough food for the growing population while coping with the already stressed environment …

The establishment, maintenance, and removal of epigenetic modifications provide an
additional layer of regulation, beyond genetically encoded factors, by which plants can …

Epigenetic changes are the heritable modifications in genes without altering DNA
sequences. The epigenetic changes occur in the plant genomes to regulate gene …

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

Melatonin (MT) is a tryptophan-derived natural product that plays a vital role in plant
response to abiotic stresses, including heavy metals (HMs). However, it remains elusive how …
