Research Progress in Histone Modification of Plant Involved in the Regulation of Gene Expression Response to Abiotic Stress

doi:10.13560/j.cnki.biotech.bull.1985.2019-0880

Abstract

Abstract: It is unavoidable to suffer from adverse environment in the process of plant growth. Hence they have evolved a flexible mechanism for reprogramming gene expression to cope with abiotic stresses such as drought,high salinity,cold,heat or submergence. Recently,along with the intensive studies of epigenetics,histone modification has demonstrated to play a crucial role under abiotic stress in plant. The properties of histone modification after translation can be altered by environmental stress,which initiates the expressions of abiotic stress-responsive genes,or act as a downstream factor to participant in the transcriptional regulation. In this review,we summarize the existing information about histone modification involved in the transcriptional regulation of abiotic stress-responsive genes,which is expected to provide a reference for the research on abiotic stress tolerance of plants.

Key words: histone modification, abiotic stress, stress response, transcriptional regulation of genes
