  In this work, we consider an emergent universe in generalized gravity
theories like the chameleon, f(R) and f(T) gravities. We reconstruct the
potential of the chameleon field under the emergent scenario of the universe
and observe its increasing nature with the evolution of the universe. We reveal
that in the emergent universe scenario, the equation-of-state parameter behaves
like quintessence in the case of f(R) gravity and like phantom in the case of
f(T) gravity.
