The agricultural sector must produce resilient and climate-smart crops to meet the increasing
needs of global food production. Recent advancements in elucidating the mechanistic basis …

Global climate change exacerbates the effects of environmental stressors, such as drought,
flooding, extreme temperatures, salinity, and alkalinity, on crop growth and grain yield …

Main conclusion Environmental-friendly techniques based on plant stress memory, cross-
stress tolerance, and seed priming help sustainable agriculture by mitigating negative …

Developing stress-tolerant plants continues to be the goal of breeders due to their realized
yields and stability. Plant responses to drought have been studied in many different plant …

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

Seed priming is a pre‐germination treatment administered through various chemical,
physical and biological agents, which induce mild stress during the early phases of …

Transcriptional memory allows organisms to store information about transcriptional
reprogramming in response to a stimulus. In plants, this often involves the response to an …

Drought stress commonly happens more than once during the life cycle of perennial trees.
Stress memory endows better capacity to cope with repeated stresses for plants, while the …

Sessile plants are exposed throughout their existence to environmental abiotic and biotic
stress factors, such as cold, heat, salinity, drought, dehydration, submergence, waterlogging …

Background Epigenome-wide association studies identified the cg00574958 DNA
