Epigenetics in plants of agronomic importance : fundamentals and applications : transcriptional regulation and Chromatin remodelling in plants / Alvarez-Venegas, Raúl; Casas-Mollano, Juan Armando; De la Peña, Clelia

The role of germinally inherited epialleles in plant breeding -- Epigenetics and heterosis in crop plants -- Epigenetic variation amongst polyploidy crop species -- Histone Phosphorylation in Plants -- Tomato epigenetics: Deciphering the "beyond" genetic information in a vegetable fleshy-fruited crop -- Recent advances in epigenetics on somatic embryogenesis of important agronomical plants -- microRNA expression and regulation during plant Somatic Embryogenesis -- Can epigenetics help forest plants to adapt to climate change?.

Over the past decades, chromatin remodelling has emerged as an important regulator of gene expression and plant defense. This book provides a detailed understanding of the epigenetic mechanisms involved in plants of agronomic importance.
