TL;DR

This review examines the bidirectional interactions between epigenetic mechanisms and ROS homeostasis in plant stress adaptation, with a particular emphasis on drought resistance, and proposes that these interactions take the form of dynamic regulatory networks rather than one-way pathways.

The miRNA-ROS interactome: Orchestrating plant resilience to environmental fluxes.

As sessile organisms, plants constantly face environmental stresses that disrupt reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis. ROS function as critical signaling molecules orchestrating stress adaptation, while microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as master regulators of gene expression. Accumulating evidence reveals a bidirec...

Chromatin Remodelling Complexes in Plant Adaptation to Abiotic Stress: Mechanisms and Perspectives

As sessile organisms, plants have evolved elaborate epigenetic regulatory networks to adapt to a wide range of abiotic stress. Chromatin remodelling is a core epigenetic regulatory mechanism that refers to the process by which chromatin remodelling complexes mediate dynamic changes in chromatin spatial conformation and...
