This chapter deals with the studied chemical modifications of DNA and histone proteins, and non-coding RNAs of plants that constitute the epigenome and contribute to the modulation of gene transcription and genome stability, independently of DNA sequence. The chapter also presents an overview of the current epigenomic profiling methods and data that can be produced and integrated into plant epigenomic maps. Case studies about applications of genome-wide profiling methods to the epigenomic investigations on abiotic stress response in plants are presented in the second part of the chapter.

Abstract

This chapter deals with the studied chemical modifications of DNA and histone proteins, and non-coding RNAs of plants that constitute the epigenome and contribute to the modulation of gene transcription and genome stability, independently of DNA sequence. The chapter also presents an overview of the current epigenomic profiling methods and data that can be produced and integrated into plant epigenomic maps. Case studies about applications of genome-wide profiling methods to the epigenomic investigations on abiotic stress response in plants are presented in the second part of the chapter.
