Epigenetic Mechanisms and Stress Tolerance in a Climate Change Scenario

Environmental stresses, including drought, extreme temperatures, soil salinity, and nutrient deficiencies, pose significant challenges to global agriculture. The intensification of these stressors due to climate change exacerbates food security concerns worldwide. To address these challenges, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying plant adaptation is crucial. Epigenetic mechanisms offer a promising avenue for developing resilient crops, as they provide a flexible and responsive layer of gene regulation.
