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 …

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

Crop production is the primary goal of agricultural activities, which is always taken into
consideration. However, global agricultural systems are coming under increasing pressure …

Plant stress is a significant challenge that affects the development, growth, and productivity
of plants and causes an adverse environmental condition that disrupts normal physiological …

In addition to being a forage crop, Caliph medic (Medicago truncatula) is also a model
legume plant and is used for research focusing on the molecular characterization of the …

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 …

Saline environment cues distort the plant growth, development and crop yield. Epigenetics
has emerged as one of the prime themes in plant functional genomics for molecular-stress …

Background DNA methylation has a potential role in controlling gene expression and may,
therefore, contribute to salinity adaptation in plants. Caliph medic (Medicago truncatula) is a …

DNA methylation and histone modification are evolutionarily conserved epigenetic
modifications that are crucial for the expression regulation of abiotic stress‐responsive …

Seawater intrusion into low‐lying coastal ecosystems carries environmental risks. Salinity
levels at these coastal ecosystems may vary substantially, causing ecological effects from …
