Epigenetics in Crop Improvement Safeguarding Food Security in an Ever-Changing Climate /

Epigenetics encompasses all changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the DNA sequence. These modifications involve DNA methylation, histone modifications, and ncRNA pathways. Plants have evolved remarkable resilience to environmental challenges mediated by epigenetic modification...
