Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Combined stresses trigger distinct transcriptomic and metabolic signatures in plants, according to the meta-synthesis.
- Mechanism Plant-associated microbiota act as an extrinsic regulatory layer that modulates host epigenetic states to prime plants for compound stress.
- Observation Epigenetic editing, CRISPR-mediated epigenome editing and microbiome engineering show promise, but their field-scale stability remains context-dependent.
- Recommendation Building climate resilience requires a paradigm shift from single-trait breeding toward multi-scale regulatory approaches.
- Recommendation Harnessing the plant epigenome and microbiome synergy is proposed as a route to 'primed' crop varieties.
