    The authors review intra-individual and inter-individual plant epigenome variation during development and in response to environmental changes, including stress. They also discuss functions of epigenome plasticity and epigenome editing technologies that will drive future research.

    RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is a major mechanism of transcriptional gene silencing in plants that is mediated through small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and plant-specific RNA polymerases. This Review summarizes our latest understanding of RdDM, including its genomic targets, molecular mechanisms (such as emerging non-canonical pathways) and diverse biological roles.
