| dc.description.abstract | Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and changes in the expression of non-coding RNAs are sensitive to the environmental variations which permit exotic species to adapt and invade new environments or vice versa. Different mechanisms of invasiveness such as phenotypic plasticity, enemy release, empty niches, propagule pressure, adaptive mutations, genetic variations, and epigenetic changes enable the introduced organisms to become invasive in their new environments. Among the diverse mechanisms that govern invasion, epigenetics can assist invasion by regulating gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. Plants have the ability to adapt to their new environments by modifying gene expression patterns by epigenetic modifications that affect plant growth and development. Epigenetic modifications are inherited through mitotic cell divisions, and they can be transmitted to the next generation. The role of epigenetic mechanisms in the adaptation of invasive plant species is one of the most exciting areas in weed science. Recent advances in molecular genetics have highlighted the role of epigenetic modifications on invasiveness. Environmental exposures can affect genes’ function without changing the DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms are considered essential for stress memories and adaptation in plants under stressed environments, which will increase under climate change in many areas of the world. Epigenetic mechanisms have been reported in most invasive plant species. To predict and prevent future invasions and effectively manage existing invaders, it is crucial to understand the relative contributions of the epigenetic basis of phenotypic variations occurring in the course of adaption to a new environment. To understand invasions, we present the role of epigenetic mechanisms that would allow the alien species to become invasive in the newly introduced environments. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023. | en_US |
