Histone deacetylase AtSRT2 regulates salt tolerance during seed germination via repression of vesicle-associated membrane protein 714 (VAMP714) in Arabidopsis.

Salt tolerance during seed germination is essential for seedling establishment under salt stress. Sirtuin-like proteins, NAD -dependent histone deacetylases, are involved in plant responses to abiotic stresses; however, the regulatory mechanism remains unknown. We elucidated the mechanism underlying AtSRT2 (a sirtuin-like protein)-mediated regulation of salt tolerance during seed germination in Arabidopsis.

Myeloblastosis (MYB) transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcription factors in higher plants. They play an important role in plant development, defense response processes, and non-biological stresses, i.e.
