Plants' ability to respond to environmental stimuli and developmental cues depends upon changes in gene expression. In eukaryotes, genetic information encoded by DNA is packed in a highly regulated and dynamic nucleoprotein complex known as chromatin that is subject to epigenetic modifications. Historically, several biological phenomena relying on epigenetic mechanisms were first characterized in plants. Seminal discoveries such as paramutation and silencing of transposable elements were made in maize (Zea mays). Later rice (Oryza sativa) was selected as a good model for monocotyledons owing to its relatively small genome size and well-annotated sequenced genome. In the past few years an increasing number of epigenetic and epigenomic studies were performed in both maize and rice. In this chapter we will first compare the basic knowledge acquired on epigenetic regulation in rice and maize versus Arabidopsis, then we will describe cereals-specific aspects of epigenetic regulations.
