植物表观遗传学的研究有着悠久而丰富的历史，从最初对非孟德尔基因行为的描述到在大多数真核生物（包括人类）中介导基因沉默的染色质修饰蛋白和RNA的开创性发现。在模式植物拟南芥中进行的遗传筛选特别有意义，迄今为止确定了130多个表观遗传调节因子。植物表观遗传途径的多样性是显著的，可能有助于植物胚后发育的表型可塑性和在不可预测的环境中生存和繁殖的能力。
The study of epigenetics in plants has a long and rich history, from initial descriptions of non-Mendelian gene behaviors to seminal discoveries of chromatin-modifying proteins and RNAs that mediate gene silencing in most eukaryotes, including humans. Genetic screens in the model plant Arabidopsis have been particularly rewarding, identifying more than 130 epigenetic regulators thus far. The diversity of epigenetic pathways in plants is remarkable, presumably contributing to the phenotypic plasticity of plant postembryonic development and the ability to survive and reproduce in unpredictable environments.
