Radiation and epigenetic mechanisms shape plant stress adaptation

This chain connects observations that gamma irradiation alters plant seeds and growth, epigenetic mechanisms contribute to stress adaptation and memory, and DNA repair/demethylation is mediated by glycosylases, collectively explaining how both physical and epigenetic responses enable adaptation in stressful environments.
