Abstract:

Histone methylation plays an important role in regulating gene expression in eukaryotic cells. Histone methylation is dynamically regulated by histone methyltransferases(HMTs)and demethylases(HDMs),among which methylation on lysine residues is the most common. In this paper,the latest research progress of plant histone lysine demethylase is systematically summarized,and its important role and regulation mechanism in the growth and development process of plant flowering time regulation and circadian rhythm regulation,as well as the responses of plants to drought,temperature,pathogenic bacteria and other stresses are expounded. The paper provides reference for further utilization of plant histone lysine demethylase in crop genetic improvement.

Key words: histone modification, histone lysine demethylases, growth and development, stress response
