Main conclusion Plants develop both short-term and transgenerational memory of drought
stress through epigenetic regulation of transcription for a better response to subsequent …

Abiotic stresses triggered by climate change and human activity cause substantial
agricultural and environmental problems which hamper plant growth. Plants have evolved …

The current evolutionary biology theory primarily involves genetic alterations and random
DNA sequence mutations to generate the phenotypic variation required for Darwinian …

Wheat is one of the most important staple foods on earth. Leaf rust, stem rust and stripe rust,
caused by Puccini triticina, Puccinia f. sp. graminis and Puccinia f. sp. striiformis …

Drought stress causes changes in the morphological, physiological, biochemical and
molecular characteristics of plants. The response to drought in different plants may vary from …

Orphan crops are important sources of nutrition in develo** regions and many are tolerant
to biotic and abiotic stressors; however, modern crop improvement technologies have not …

Plants respond to drought stress by producing abscisic acid, a chemical messenger that
regulates gene expression and thereby expedites various physiological and cellular …

The plant genome exhibits a significant amount of transcriptional activity, with most of the
resulting transcripts lacking protein-coding potential. Non-coding RNAs play a pivotal role in …

Crop adaptation to climate change is in a part attributed to epigenetic mechanisms which
are related to response to abiotic and biotic stresses. Although recent studies increased our …

Plants offer a habitat for a range of interactions to occur among different stress factors.
Epigenetics has become the most promising functional genomics tool, with huge potential …
