Abstract Background β-Aminobutyric acid (BABA) has been successfully used to prime stress resistance in numerous plant species; however, its effectiveness forest trees poorly explored thus far. This study aimed investigate the influence of BABA on morphological, physiological, and epigenetic parameters field elms under various growth conditions. Epigenetic changes were assessed both DNA RNA through use reversed-phase ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with sensitive mass spectrometry. Results The presented results confirm development, physiology, tolerance elms. However, most important findings are related broad promoted by this amino acid, which involve RNA. Our confirm, for first time, that influences not only well-known markers plants, such as 5-methylcytosine, but also several other non-canonical nucleobases, 5-hydroxymethyluracil, 5-formylcytosine, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, N6-methyladenine, uracil (in DNA) thymine RNA). significant effect levels main bacterial marker, is particularly noteworthy. In case, question arises whether due microbiome, genome, or both. Conclusions phenotype result complex interactions between plant’s DNA, environment.

Developing stress-tolerant plants continues to be the goal of breeders due their realized yields and stability. Plant responses drought have been studied in many different plant species, but occurrence stress memory as well potential mechanisms for regulation is not yet described. It has observed that hold on past events a way adjusts response new challenges without altering genetic constitution. This ability could enable training face future increase frequency intensity. A better understanding memory-associated leading alteration gene expression how they link physiological, biochemical, metabolomic morphological changes would initiate diverse opportunities breed genotypes through molecular breeding or biotechnological approaches. In this perspective, review discusses types gives an overall view using general examples. Further, focusing stress, we demonstrate coordinated epigenetic control mechanisms, associated transcription at genome level integrated biochemical physiological cellular following recurrent exposures. Indeed, alterations specific networks facilitate acclimation survival individual during repeated stress.

Abstract Plant responses to abiotic stresses are dynamic, following the unpredictable changes of physical environmental parameters such as temperature, water and nutrients. Physiological phenotypical stress intercalated by periods recovery. An earlier can be remembered ‘stress memory’ mount a response within generation or transgenerationally. The priming’ phenomenon allows plants respond quickly more robustly stressors increase survival, therefore has significant implications for agriculture. Although evidence memory in various plant species is accumulating, understanding mechanisms implicated, especially crops agricultural interest, its infancy. Rice major food crop which susceptible causing constraints on cultivation yield globally. Advancing network will thus have impact rice sustainable production global security face climate change. Therefore, this review highlights effects priming tolerance focuses specific aspects memory, perpetuation regulation at epigenetic, transcriptional, metabolic well physiological levels. open questions future directions exciting research field also laid out.

Understanding plant stress memory under extreme temperatures such as cold and heat could contribute to development. Plants employ different types of memories, somatic, intergenerational transgenerational, regulated by epigenetic changes DNA histone modifications microRNAs (miRNA), playing a key role in gene regulation from early development maturity. In most cases, stresses result short-term that can return baseline modification levels after cessation. Nevertheless, some the may be stable passed on memory, potentially allowing them inherited across generations, whereas are reactivated during sexual reproduction or embryogenesis. Several stress-related genes involved inheritance turning off transcription profiles changes. Vernalization is best example somatic memory.

A plant, being a sessile organism, needs to modulate biochemical, physiological, and molecular responses the environment in quick efficient manner be protected. Drought stress is frequently occurring abiotic that severely affects plant growth, development, productivity. Short- long-term memories are well-known phenomena animals; however, existence of such remembrance plants still discovered. In this investigation, different rice genotypes were imposed with drought just before flowering re-watered for recovery from stress. Seeds collected stress-treated (stress-primed) used raise subsequent two generations under similar experimental setup. Modulations physio-biochemical (chlorophyll, total phenolics proline contents, antioxidant potential, lipid peroxidation) epigenetic [5-methylcytosine (5-mC)] parameters analyzed leaves grown as well after recovery. There was an increase (>25%) phenolic (>19%) activity (>7%), genome-wide 5-mC level (>56%), while decrease (>9%) chlorophyll content recorded significant Interestingly, part increased content, activity, retained even withdrawal Moreover, levels biochemical observed transmitted/inherited generations. These might help developing stress-tolerant crops improving crop productivity changing global climate sustainable food production security.
