Overview

Plants evolve mechanisms to cope with environmental stressors like drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and pathogen attacks. Among these mechanisms, epigenetic regulation plays a pivotal role in enabling plants to respond rapidly and effectively to changing conditions. Epigenetic modifications regulate gene activity in response to stress, enabling plants to improve their physiological and metabolic responses. Understanding these epigenetic mechanisms may offer valuable insight into plant adaptation strategies and holds the potential for developing stress-tolerant crops through epigenetic breeding mechanisms and biotechnological interventions. Epigenetic Mechanisms in Plant Stress Adaptation explores the roles of epigenetic modifications in plant responses to various environmental stressors. It examines how epigenetic changes influence plant adaptation and resilience to stresses like drought, salinity, temperature extremes, and pathogen attacks, providing a comprehensive resource that highlights the significance of epigenetics in plant biology and its potential applications in agriculture and environmental sustainability. This book covers topics such as botany, breeding strategies, and crop management, and is a useful resource for biologists, botanists, engineers, agriculturalists, academicians, researchers, and environmental scientists.
