Abstract

The field of plant epigenetics is expanding, revealing how plants regulate gene expression and adapt to their environments. This chapter discusses the future directions and challenges in plant epigenetics, highlighting advanced technologies like single-cell epigenomics and CRISPR-based editing. Overcoming challenges such as lack of reference epigenomes for diverse species and ethical concerns in agricultural applications is key. Interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation are crucial to advancing research and ensuring sustainable crop production.
