Breeding crop plants with increased yield potential and improved tolerance to stressful
environments is critical for global food security. Drought stress (DS) adversely affects …

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 …

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 …

Epigenetic changes are the heritable modifications in genes without altering DNA
sequences. The epigenetic changes occur in the plant genomes to regulate gene …

There is a pressing need to improve climate-resilient crops as a consequence of
increasingly erratic climatic behavior that threatens global food security. Current scientific …

To better adapt transiently or lastingly to stimuli from the surrounding environment, the
chromatin states in plant cells vary to allow the cells to fine-tune their transcriptional profiles …

DNA methylation plays multiple regulatory roles in crop development. However, the
relationships of methylation polymorphisms with genetic polymorphisms, gene expression …

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 …

Key message Overview of current understanding of epigenetic alterations after abiotic
stresses during reproductive development in cereals. Abstract Abiotic stresses, including …

In order to tackle the cumulative adverse effects of global climate change, reduced farmland,
