Introduction
Plant epigenetics investigates heritable changes in gene activity that occur without alteration of the underlying DNA sequence. This discipline has become increasingly significant in agricultural biotechnology because epigenetic regulation influences crop productivity, stress tolerance, developmental processes, and environmental adaptation. Researchers working in this field contribute to both fundamental biological understanding and practical applications relevant to food security and sustainable agriculture.[3]
As a researcher associated with the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, Kajol B.M. Singh participates in an internationally recognised scientific environment supporting molecular biology, biotechnology, and genetics research. Publication activity indexed in Scopus demonstrates participation in peer-reviewed scientific communication and contributes to the broader body of plant science literature.[1]
