About the Epigenetic Tools in Plant Breeding Session
Epigenetic tools have transformed plant breeding by providing methods to modify gene expression without altering DNA sequences. Techniques like DNA methylation, histone modification, and RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) regulate gene activity, impacting traits such as flowering time, stress tolerance, and disease resistance. Epigenetic changes can be stable and inherited across generations, providing breeders with a novel means to develop superior crop varieties. CRISPR/dCas9-based epigenetic editing, for example, allows precise modifications of gene expression. These tools complement traditional breeding, offering potential for developing resilient crops suited for changing environments.
