Article Synopsis
- - The aleurone layer of seeds undergoes programmed cell death (PCD) during germination, influenced by gibberellic acid (GA) from the embryo; however, the exact genes and mechanisms behind this process need more exploration.
- - A study identified 7,919 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with some linked to processes like DNA methylation and lipid metabolism, revealing that DNA methylation plays a significant role in regulating aleurone PCD.
- - Findings suggest that increased histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity in the aleurone correlates with lipid breakdown and hydrogen peroxide production, highlighting a complex interaction between DNA methylation, lipid metabolism, and GA signaling in maize.
Lateral roots (LRs) are a main component of the root system of rice (Oryza sativa) that increases root surface area, enabling efficient absorption of water and nutrients. However, the molecular mechanism regulating LR formation in rice remains largely unknown. Here, we report that histone deacetylase 1 (OsHDAC1) positively regulates LR formation in rice.

The recent WGD/SD gene pairs in the CBP and RPD/HDA1 gene family may confer specific adaptive evolutionary changes. Expression of OsHAT and OsHDAC genes provides a new vision in different aspects of development and response to diverse stress.
