These constraints on crossover number and distribution limit the genetic variation available for crop improvement and hinder the fine mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Unleashing meiotic crossovers has, therefore, become a key objective in plant genetics and breeding. Here, we review recent findings on pro- and anti-crossover factors that regulate crossover numbers, along with epigenetic mechanisms that suppress pericentromeric crossover recombination.

Molecular analyses have revealed that aneuploidy affects gene expression across the genome with the major effects being direct and inverse correlations with the varied dosage. The inverse effect is typically more prevalent especially in aneuploids with an increased chromosomal dosage. Small heterozygous deletions removing one of the two copies of a gene typically exhibit a gene dosage effect for the included genes, but larger aneuploids exhibit the global modulations. When the inverse effect also operates on the target genes being varied in an aneuploid, dosage compensation results with expression levels similar to the corresponding genomically balanced control. Most substantial aneuploids alter the total transcriptome size but with subsets of genes deviating from the general trend. The greatest reductions in transcriptome size are associated with the most detrimental phenotypic effects on the organism.

Traditionally, each modification was viewed as an independent signal marking specific chromatin states. However, recent advances in epigenome profiling, genome editing, and proteomics have revealed that histone marks often function in combination, engaging in hierarchical, cooperative, and antagonistic relationships. In particular, studies in <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> have uncovered dynamic interactions between activating and repressive modifications, as well as their coordination with DNA methylation, histone variants, and RNA modifications. Among these, H3K4 and H3K36 methylation have emerged as key regulatory hubs that integrate developmental and environmental signals into context-dependent transcriptional responses. This growing body of evidence suggests that chromatin regulation involves not isolated modifications but rather a complex network of interdependent marks. In this review, we discuss recent examples of crosstalk between histone modifications and other regulatory layers to highlight how combinatorial chromatin regulation and its underlying molecular mechanisms contribute to transcriptional control and epigenetic responsiveness in plants.
