Recent discoveries have shown that epigenetic regulation is an integral part of
phytohormone-mediated processes. The phytohormone gibberellin (GA) triggers a series of …

Background The aleurone layer is a part of many plant seeds, and during seed germination,
aleurone cells undergo PCD, which is promoted by GA from the embryo. However, the …

The cereal aleurone layer plays an important role in seed germination, and reactive oxygen
species (ROS) in aleurone layers act as crucial signal molecules in this progression. Recent …

The cereal aleurone layer is a secretory tissue that produces enzymes to hydrolyze the
starchy endosperm during germination. We recently demonstrated that reactive oxygen …

Key message The aleurone layer is crucial to seed germination. Using dissected aleurone
layers, we found that GA increased histone acetylation accompanied by rDNA …

Gibberellins (GAs) initiate a series of events that culminate in programmed cell death,
whereas abscisic acid (ABA) prevents this process. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key …

Plant resistance to pathogen attack is often associated with a localized programmed cell
death called hypersensitive response (HR). How this cell death is controlled remains largely …

The barley aleurone layer is a terminally differentiated secretory tissue whose activity is
hormonally controlled. The plant hormone gibberellic acid (GA) stimulates the secretion of …

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are important chromatin regulators essential for plant
tolerance to adverse environments. In addition to histone deacetylation and epigenetic …

Recent studies have shown that histone acetylation, which is an important epigenetic
modification, plays a key role in abiotic stress responses in plants. Programmed cell death …
