Receiving information on external pH is critical to steer adaptive responses to a plethora of signals associated with the proton concentration in the rhizosphere. Surprisingly, plant pH sensing did not appear to be a popular concept during the past decades and a ‘pH detector’ as a stand-alone system with the sole duty of monitoring the external proton concentration was considered inessential. Recently, however, it was shown that such a system is in fact employed by Arabidopsis roots, a system that monitors external pH and, subsequently, calibrates the intricate tradeoff between growth and defense.

During transgenic plant production, tissue culture often carries epigenetic and genetic changes that underlie somaclonal variations, leading to unpredictable phenotypes. Additionally, specific treatments for rice (Oryza sativa) transformation processes may individually or jointly contribute to somaclonal variations, but their specific impacts on rice epigenomes towards transcriptional variations remain unknown.
