Over the past few decades, chromatin modulation has emerged as an
important regulator of gene expression. This second edition
provides detailed information on the epigenetic mechanisms in
plants, illustrating the value of this research in plants of
agronomic importance. It examines recent advances regarding plants'
epigenetic regulation in response to abiotic and biotic types of
stress; the epigenetic basis of plant immunity; evolution and
functions of plant histones; epigenetic variation and plant
breeding; and epigenome editing and crop improvement. The content
is intended to promote the development of future biotechnologies to
manipulate and selectively activate/inhibit proteins and metabolic
pathways to counter pathogens, to treat important diseases, and to
increase crop productivity. The development of new fields, like
epigenome editing and RNA epigenetics, will certainly improve our
understanding of currently known epigenetic modifications and their
roles in e.g. host-pathogen interactions, crop productivity, and in
response to environmental stimuli. This volume contains twelve
new/revised chapters, written by an international team of experts
on plant epigenetics, and addresses the needs of researchers and
professionals in the fields of agronomics, crop breeding,
epigenetics, plant biochemistry, plant developmental biology, and
related disciplines.
