  abstract = {{T}he challenge of sustaining food security in the context of global changes is at the heart of plant research. {E}nvironmental stresses, in particular, are known to impact genome stability and epigenetic mechanisms. {E}pigenetic pathways are well characterized in plants, particularly in the dicotyledon model plant {A}rabidopsis thaliana, but an increasing number of epigenetic and epigenomic studies are also performed on rice ({O}ryza sativa). {R}ice represents a major food crop of worldwide importance and is also a good model for monocotyledons owing to its relatively small genome size and fully sequenced well-annotated genome. {T}oday, the main regulators of {DNA} methylation are identified in rice. {M}oreover, compared to {A}rabidopsis, rice has an important evolutionary history due to human selection since its domestication. {DNA} methylation may be involved in both adaptation and agronomic performances and thus, a better understanding of epigenetic regulations in rice should contribute to improving the adaptation of crops to a changing environment. {I}n this review, we expose the current knowledge on {DNA} methylation in rice and future perspectives to be considered.},
