Chromatin remodelling complexes are a core epigenetic mechanism in plants, enabling dynamic changes in chromatin conformation and DNA accessibility under abiotic stress.
- Why it matters: Plants need flexible, reversible epigenetic regulation to respond to diverse environmental stresses, but recruitment specificity and coordination under combined stresses remain challenging.
- What they did: This review summarizes research on chromatin remodelling complexes and mechanisms such as nucleosome sliding, histone variant exchange, nucleosome eviction, and spacing adjustment.
- The result: The synthesis highlights key challenges and future directions, aiming to support epigenetic engineering strategies for developing stress-tolerant crop varieties.
