摘要

Plants exhibit adaptive responses mediated through physiological and epigenetic memory mechanisms. Advances in plant biology have revealed that plants can inherit beneficial microbes through vertical transmission and pass on stress adaptations through epigenetic memory involving DNA methylation and histone modification. These mechanisms provide a robust scientific foundation for explaining the success of natural farming practices, particularly in India, where formulations such as Jeevamrit and Beejamrit are rich in native microbial consortia. Although widely adopted by farmers, these methods remain underexplored at the molecular level. This review bridges traditional agricultural knowledge with modern biology by exploring how plant-microbe interactions and epigenetic inheritance might underpin the long-term resilience observed in natural Farming. Key evidence has been outlined to identify gaps in the literature, and propose a research roadmap to integrate transgenerational plant memory into sustainable farming frameworks. This synthesis has the potential to transform natural farming from an empirical practice into a scientifically optimized model for regenerative agriculture.
