Abstract: Protein acetylation is a ubiquitous and reversibly regulated protein post-translational modification in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, which is regulated by lysine acetyltransferases and lysine deacetylases. It was involved in a variety of biological processes, including transcription, central metabolism, cell signalling and apoptosis. The detection technology of acetylation has developed rapidly and a large number of histone and non-histone proteins have been identified so far. Functional analysis of these acetylated proteins have also made certain progresses. This review summarizes the research status of protein acetylation in plant pathology, including plant disease resistance processes, plant pathogens and biocontrol bacteria. Moreover, future directions as well as the prospects of protein acetylation research were discussed.

Key words: protein acetylation, defense response, plant pathogens, biocontrol bacteria
