Histone acetylation dynamics regulating plant development and stress responses

Cell Mol Life Sci. 2021 May;78(10):4467-4486. doi: 10.1007/s00018-021-03794-x. Epub 2021 Feb 27.

Abstract

Crop productivity is directly dependent on the growth and development of plants and their adaptation during different environmental stresses. Histone acetylation is an epigenetic modification that regulates numerous genes essential for various biological processes, including development and stress responses. Here, we have mainly discussed the impact of histone acetylation dynamics on vegetative growth, flower development, fruit ripening, biotic and abiotic stress responses. Besides, we have also emphasized the information gaps which are obligatory to be examined for understanding the complete role of histone acetylation dynamics in plants. A comprehensive knowledge about the histone acetylation dynamics will ultimately help to improve stress resistance and reduce yield losses in different crops due to climate changes.

Keywords: Biotic and abiotic stress responses; Epigenetics; Histone acetylation; Histone acetyltransferases (HATs); Histone deacetylases (HDACs); Plant development.
