It was a pleasure collaborating with @hajkdrost.bsky.social again, building on ideas that originated from our previous review on stress-induced epigenetic variation : www.frontiersin.org/journals/pla...

We identified an initial set of 30+ toolkit genes from literature, but encourage the community to test & expand our model! Further questions incl. (1) how similar/diverse toolkits function across environments (2) how toolkit proteins affect (epi)genomic features in various cells/tissues/individuals

Studying the epigenetic toolkit (and allelic variation in toolkit genes) as an evolvable trait could help predict how different plant species and populations maintain homeostasis – both under short-term stress/nutrient fluctuations and long-term environmental shifts.
