Exploring the crop epigenome

How Epigenetics Can Help Farmers Grow Healthier and More Resilient Crops

Glossary of Epigenetics

An epigenetic alphabet of crop adaptation to climate change

Abstract: Crop adaptation to climate change is in a part attributed to epigenetic mechanisms which are related to response to abiotic and biotic stresses.

Epigenetics for Crop Improvement in Times of Global Change

Abstract: Epigenetics has emerged as an important research field for crop improvement under the on-going climatic changes. Heritable epigenetic changes can arise independently of DNA sequence alterations and have been associated with altered gene expression and transmitted phenotypic variation.

Deciphering the Epigenetic Alphabet Involved in Transgenerational Stress Memory in Crops

Abstract: 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 changes are heritable and therefore transmitted to their progeny.
