Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the third most important food crop in terms of human
consumption and plays a key role in ensuring global food and nutrition security. With the …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) no doubt is an important staple food crop which feeds more than 3
billion people and provides 20% of world's dietary energy (Mishra et al., 2018). Its global …

The journey from domestication to the modern era of epigenetics has tremendously
revolutionized crop research. In the past, the dissection of polygenic phenotypic traits of …

The epigenetic mechanisms include histone modifications, DNA methylation, and noncoding
RNAs which control gene expression independent of change in the sequence of DNA. In …

Rice is an important staple food crop, as it fulfills the requirement of half of the world's
population. Its estimated consumption is expected to be 650 million tons by the year 2050 …

In order to deal with the challenge of crop improvement in the era of climate change, it is
essential that we adopt the approaches in which plant responds to environmental changes …
