Abstract:
Epigenetic modifications are heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve changes to the core DNA sequence. These modifications can be passed down across generations. It has been proven that epigenetic alterations have a significant influence on the regulation of a plant's response to environmental stress. This article provides an overview of the various defense mechanisms that plants use when confronted with unfavorable environmental conditions. These defense mechanisms include alterations in the patterns of DNA methylation, modifications to histones, and gene silence that is mediated by tiny RNA molecules. This discussion will focus on the current state of our understanding of the hereditary and ecological factors that influence epigenetic modifications in flora and the possible consequences these factors have for an organism's response to stress. In addition, this discussion highlights the challenges and opportunities associated with investigating epigenetic alterations in flora. These include the need for advanced precision methodologies to identify epigenetic modifications and the possibility of utilizing epigenetic diversity in breeding programs. The current investigation provides a comprehensive review of the significance of epigenetics in the context of plant adaptation to environmental stress. This examination highlights the value of this field of study in the context of addressing challenges pertaining to worldwide food security.
