EPIGENETICS IN PLANTS OF AGRONOMIC IMPORTANCE F...

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.
