Environmental and multigenerational stress orchestrate plant epigenetic responses

Synthesizes how repeated or multigenerational environmental (ionizing radiation, temperature, etc.) stresses drive epigenetic changes (notably cytosine methylation contexts and DMRs) in plants, shaping transgenerational phenotypic adaptation and gene regulation.

Outcomes depend on both stress type and generational historyStep 1

Targets of epigenetic modification are context- and locus-dependentStep 2

Epigenetic and phenotypic effects can persist and vary across generationsStep 3
