Principles, functions, and biological implications of m6A in plants.

Over the past decade, N6-methyladenosine (m6A), emerging as a prevalent and dynamically regulated modification across the transcriptome, reversibly installed, removed, and interpreted by specific binding proteins, playing crucial roles in molecular and biological processes. Within this scope, we consolidate recent advancements of m6A research in plant regarding in gene expression regulation, diverse physiologic and pathogenic processes, as well as crop trial implication to guide discussions on challenges associated with and leveraging epitranscriptome editing for crop improvement.
