Research Progresses of Stress-induced Epigenetic Regulation Mechanism in Plant

Abstract

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
