摘要:

植物着地固定生长不能主动逃避外界危害,只能依靠自身的一些响应机制来防御外界胁迫,表观遗传调控在这个响应机制中起着重要的作用,主要表现在DNA甲基化、组蛋白修饰、染色质重塑及非编码RNA。植物在遭受低温、高温、干旱、盐、重金属、病毒及激素等因素胁迫后,通过调节抗逆相关基因的表达来响应外界危害。综述表观遗传修饰在各种胁迫下的调控机制,为作物的抗逆研究提供理论依据。

Abstract:

Plant as sedentary organisms, needs to adapt their gene activity to the adverse or stressful environmental challenges. Epigenetic regulation accompanies stressful environments, such as extreme temperature, drought, salinity, heavy metal, pathogen and hormones etc., which lead to the impressive development and phenotype variation of different plant species with adaptability to unfavorable conditions. In this paper, the current research status of epigenetic changes induced by stresses, including DNA methylation, histone post-translational modification, chromatin modification, non-coding RNA, as well as the interaction between these epigenetic incidences were reviewed.

Key words: Stress, DNA methylation, Histone modification, Chromatin reshaping, Non-coding RNA
