• Plants face various adverse environmental conditions, particularly with the ongoing changes in global climate, which drastically affect the growth, development and productivity of crops. To cope with these stresses, plants have evolved complex mechanisms, and one of the crucial ways is to develop transcriptional memories from stress exposure. This induced learning enables plants to better and more strongly restart the response and adaptation mechanism to stress when similar or dissimilar stresses reoccur. Understanding the molecular mechanism behind plant transcriptional memory of stress can provide a theoretical basis for breeding stress-tolerant crops with resilience to future climates. Here we review the recent research progress on the transcriptional memory of plants under various stresses and the applications of underlying mechanisms for sustainable agricultural production. We propose that a thorough understanding of plant transcriptional memory is crucial for both agronomic management and resistant breeding, and thus may help to improve agricultural yield and quality under changing climatic conditions. •The mechanism of transcription memory in plants under different stresses was reviewed.•Plants have stress memory, which is manifested by changes in epigenetics, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolomics.•Pre-exposure to a single stress can induce stress resistance to improve crop performance under subsequent stresses.•By improving the stress resistance of crops, food security can be enhanced.
