Crop production systems need to expand their outputs sustainably to feed a burgeoning
human population. Advances in genome sequencing technologies combined with efficient …

Simple Summary Research on plant epigenetics aims to understand how endogenous,
biotic, and abiotic factors regulate plant development and growth independent of changes in …

Epigenetic variations are involved in the control of plant developmental processes and
participate in shaping phenotypic plasticity to the environment. Intense breeding has eroded …

Plant DNA methylation is its own language, interpreted by the cell to maintain silencing of
transposons, facilitate chromatin structure, and to ensure proper expression of some genes …

To better adapt transiently or lastingly to stimuli from the surrounding environment, the
chromatin states in plant cells vary to allow the cells to fine-tune their transcriptional profiles …

Background Plants condition the soil in which they grow, thereby altering the performance of
subsequent plants growing in this soil. This phenomenon, known as plant-soil feedback …

Fruit ripening is a developmental process that results in the leaf-like carpel organ of the
flower becoming a mature ovary primed for dispersal of the seeds. Ripening in fleshy fruits …

Epigenetics is defined as changes in gene expression that are not associated with changes
in DNA sequence but due to the result of methylation of DNA and post-translational …

Diversification of ecology into subdisciplines that run from macroecology to landscape,
community, and population ecology largely reflects its specialization on different segments …

Pathogen infections seriously threaten plant health and global crop production. Epigenetic
processes such as DNA methylation, histone post-translational modifications, chromatin …
