Transposable elements (TEs) constitute a large portion of many plant genomes and play important roles in regulating gene expression driving genome evolution crop domestication. Despite advances understanding the functions mechanisms TEs, comprehensive review their integrated knowledge cutting-edge biotechnological applications TEs is still needed. We provide thorough overview that connects discoveries, mechanisms, technologies associated with TEs. discuss identification function driven by functional genomics, epigenetic regulation utilization active genomics engineering. In summary, expanding application will be beneficial to breeding synthetic biology future.

ABSTRACT Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial soil bacteria that can enhance crop growth and health through various mechanisms, including nutrient acquisition, hormone production, induced systemic resistance. Epigenetic modifications of plants play crucial roles in the effects PGPR on plant by regulating gene expression patterns modify architecture root architecture, abiotic/biotic stress tolerance, optimise use, influence hormonal pathways. Understanding these epigenetic dynamics pave way for developing more effective biofertilizers sustainable agricultural practices. In this review, we will discuss recent advances understanding relationship between plants, with special focus how epigenetics DNA methylation, histone noncoding RNA a key role complex interplay them.
