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 …

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

Plants have evolved sophisticated genetic and epigenetic regulatory systems to respond
quickly to unfavorable environmental conditions such as heat, cold, drought, and pathogen …

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

Epigenetics has become one of the hottest topics of research in plant functional genomics
since it appears promising in deciphering and imparting stress-adaptive potential in crops …

Background Heavy metal toxicity has become a major threat to sustainable crop production
worldwide. Thus, considerable interest has been placed on deciphering the mechanisms …

Global change poses new challenges for plant species, including novel and complex
combinations of environmental conditions to which plants should adjust and adapt …

The notion that phenotypic traits emerging from environmental experiences are heritable
remains under debate. However, the recent report of nonmendelian transgenerational …

In nature, plants are regularly exposed to biotic and abiotic stress conditions. These
conditions create potential risks for survival. Plants have evolved in order to compete with …

Plants being sessile are always exposed to various environmental stresses, and to
overcome these stresses, modifications at the epigenetic level can prove vital for their long …
