Plants cannot move, so they must endure abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and
extreme temperatures. These stressors greatly limit the distribution of plants, alter their …

DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic modification that is important for gene regulation
and genome stability. Aberrant patterns of DNA methylation can lead to plant developmental …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for plant growth and reproduction. Plants
preferentially absorb P as orthophosphate (Pi), an ion that displays low solubility and that is …

In eukaryotic cells, gene expression is greatly influenced by the dynamic chromatin
environment. Epigenetic mechanisms, including covalent modifications to DNA and histone …

Unlike animals, plants are immobile and could not actively escape the effects of aggressive
environmental factors, such as pathogenic microorganisms, insect pests, parasitic plants …

Plants are sessile organisms that need to adapt to constantly changing environmental
conditions. Unpredictable climate change places plants under a variety of abiotic stresses …

Low phosphate (Pi) availability constrains plant development and seed production in both
natural and agricultural ecosystems. When Pi is scarce, modifications of root system …

Main conclusion Plants develop both short-term and transgenerational memory of drought
stress through epigenetic regulation of transcription for a better response to subsequent …

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

Highlights•Pi stress restricts primary root growth through dual regulatory pathways.•Vacuolar
transporters regulate cytosolic Pi homeostasis.•InsP interacts with SPX domain to regulate Pi …
