HD2 proteins are plant specific histone deacetylases. Four HD2 proteins, HD2A, HD2B,
HD2C, and HD2D, have been identified in Arabidopsis. It was found that the expression of …

Histone acetylation plays a critical role in controlling chromatin structure, and reactive
oxygen species (ROS) are involved in cell cycle progression. To study the relationship …

Cereal aleurone cells are specialized endosperm cells that produce enzymes to hydrolyze
the starchy endosperm during germination. Aleurone cells can undergo programmed cell …

Histone lysine acetylation is an essential chromatin modification for epigenetic regulation of
gene expression during plant response to stress. On the other hand, enzymes involved in …

Aims Metacaspases are cysteine-dependent proteases, which play essential roles in
programmed cell death (PCD), and caspase-3-like protease is the crucial executioner …

Elevated ambient temperatures affect plant growth and substantially impact biomass and
crop yield. Recent results have indicated that chromatin remodelling is critical in plant …

Histone modifications play an important role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression.
All histone modifications are reversible, which may therefore provide a flexible way for …

Early responses of plants to environmental stress factors prevent damage but can delay
growth and development in fluctuating conditions. Optimising these trade‐offs requires …

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are known as erasers that remove acetyl groups from lysine
residues in histones. Although plant HDACs play essential roles in physiological processes …

The aleurone layer of cereals is a secretory tissue whose activity is regulated by abscisic
acid (ABA) and gibberellins (GAs). Whereas GA triggers enzyme synthesis and secretion …
