This project investigates the role of epigenetic mechanisms in crop trait instability under climate change. Focusing on paramutation in maize, it aims to understand how DNA methylation and histone modifications influence trait stability across generations.
Crop trait instability, particularly under climate change, poses a significant challenge to global food security.
Epigenetic mechanisms are increasingly recognized as key contributors to this instability.
Paramutation, an epigenetic phenomenon where one silenced inducing allele heritably silences its homologous active sensitive counterpart, leads to unstable traits across generations.
Despite its implications for breeding, the mechanisms underlying paramutation remain largely elusive.
