Plant epigenetic memory refers to the ability of plants to "remember" environmental stressors and adjust their physiological responses accordingly, often across generations. This phenomenon is primarily mediated by epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modification, which can alter gene expression without changing the underlying DNA sequence. Understanding epigenetic mechanisms is crucial for improving crop resilience to stressors like drought, salinity, and pathogens. By harnessing these epigenetic changes through breeding or biotechnology, researchers aim to develop crops that can better withstand adverse environmental conditions. This field holds promise for sustainable agriculture by enhancing the adaptability of crops to a changing climate.
