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

More than a century ago, August Weissman defined a distinction between the germline
(responsible for propagating heritable information from generation to generation) and the …

The degradable plastic poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT) is considered a
potential replacement for low-density polyethylene (LDPE) as the main component of mulch …

Epigenetics involves the heritable changes in patterns of gene expression determined by
developmental and abiotic stresses, ie, drought, cold, salinity, trace metals, and heat. Gene …

DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic mark that plays important roles in maintaining
genome stability and regulating gene expression. As sessile organisms, plants have …

Heterosis has historically been exploited in plants; however, its underlying genetic
mechanisms and molecular basis remain elusive. In recent years, due to advances in …

Although epigenetic modifications have been intensely investigated over the last decade
due to their role in crop adaptation to rapid climate change, it is unclear which epigenetic …

Plastids are a group of essential, heterogenous semi-autonomous organelles characteristic
of plants that perform photosynthesis and a diversity of metabolic pathways that impact …

If food and feed production are to keep up with world demand in the face of climate change,
continued progress in understanding and utilizing both genetic and epigenetic sources of …

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 …
