Epigenetic and metabolic regulation of drought stress memory in maize: from molecular mechanisms to field-applicable priming strategies
This framework charts pathways for optimizing the memory yield equation by integrating molecular circuitry with field-applicable priming, and explicitly identifies critical knowledge gaps, including the limited direct measurements of proline biosynthetic enzyme kinetics in primed versus unprimed maize and the largely uncharacterized phosphorylation states of PEPC under priming conditions.
