Several studies have shown that epigenetic marks, such as DNA cytosine methylation and histone methylation regulate gene expression in plants. Epigenome editing involves manipulating these epigenetic marks to regulate gene expression in a targeted manner. Epigenome editing has great potential for crop improvement and exploring fundamental questions. The recent advancements in the DNA targeting tools, such as Zinc fingers, and CRISPR, have aided the development of tools for targeted manipulation of epigenetic marks. In this talk, we will discuss the current tools available for epigenome editing in plants and the current use of these tools in basic and applied research in plants. Finally, we will discuss the advantages and challenges of epigenome editing in plants.
