stress-memory
Stress-memory, or 'priming,' refers to the ability of plants to retain information from a previous stress exposure and mount a faster or stronger response when the same stress recurs. This phenomenon involves epigenetic changes, altered gene expression patterns, and metabolic adjustments that persist across time—sometimes even across generations. Understanding stress-memory is critical for plant science because it offers insights into how crops could be made more resilient to climate-driven threats like drought, heat, and pathogen attack.
