Epigenetic mechanisms are integral to plant growth, development, and adaptation to environmental stimuli. Over the past two decades, our comprehension of these complex regulatory processes has expanded remarkably, producing a substantial body of knowledge on both locus-specific mechanisms and genome-wide regulatory patterns. Studies initially grounded in the model plant Arabidopsis have been broadened to encompass a diverse ar...

Green manuring and crop straw returning are widely used to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration, while the pathways and drivers in native SOC mineralization and new SOC formation after implementing these practices remain unclear. Here, through a 10‐locations' network field experiment in southern China, the effects of green manuring (Mv), rice straw returning (Rs), and their combination (MR) on soil C sequestration...
