Plant Stress Memory: Struggle of Getting Better Each Time

Plants must be able to react to and adjust to recurring biotic and abiotic stresses because they cannot escape them. Changes in gene expression regulate these plant responses at the molecular level, and many genes are involved in such stress responses, which can be presumed to be acquired immune responses due to the lack of specialized immunogenic cells. Now, flexible DNA packaging with a histone core enables the nucleosome core to travel freely along the string and allow transcriptional machinery to express. Epigenetic alteration of histone proteins can significantly change this transcriptional apparatus. As "transgenerational memory," these epigenetic markers can also be passed down to the next generation. These stress-induced changes are now being transferred to non-affected plants which can be short term or long term memory and crucial for eco-evolutionary success.
