Abstract Plants acquire enhanced tolerance to intermittent abiotic stress by employing information obtained during prior exposure an environmental disturbance, a process known as acclimation or defense priming. The capacity for memory is critical feature in this process. number of reports related plant (PSM) has recently increased, but few studies have focused on the mechanisms that maintain PSM. Identifying components involved maintaining PSM difficult due part lack clear criteria recognize these components. In review, based what been learned from genetic heat memory, we propose identifying regulatory networks We provide examples circuits formed effectors and regulators also highlight strategies assessing PSMs, update progress understanding maintenance, perspectives further development exciting research field.

Priming reflects the capacity of plants to memorise environmental stress experience and improve their response recurring stress. Epigenetic modifications in DNA associated histone proteins may carry short-term long-term memory same plant or mediate transgenerational effects, but evidence is still largely circumstantial. New experimental tools now enable scientists perform targeted manipulations that either prevent generate a particular epigenetic modification location genome. Such 'reverse epigenetics' approaches allow for interrogation causality between individual priming-induced role altering gene expression performance under Furthermore, combining site-directed manipulation with conditional cell-type specific promoters creates novel opportunities test engineer spatiotemporal patterns priming.
