Plant Genome Plasticity
Plant Genome Plasticity
Plant genome plasticity refers to a plant’s ability to alter its genetic expression in response to environmental challenges. Unlike animals, plants are immobile and thus rely on genome plasticity to survive and thrive under varying conditions. This adaptability is achieved through mechanisms like gene duplication, epigenetic modifications, and horizontal gene transfer. Genome plasticity allows plants to optimize traits such as flowering time, drought tolerance, and pathogen resistance, providing a survival advantage. Research on genome plasticity holds great promise for developing crops that can withstand unpredictable climates and contribute to stable food systems in the face of global climate change.
