A HISTONE DEACETYLASE INHIBITOR ENHANCES RICE IMMUNITY BY DEREPRESSING THE EXPRESSION OF DEFENSE-RELATED GENES

A histone deacetylase inhibitor enhances rice immunity by derepressing the expression of defense-related genes

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (HDACis) have been widely used in plants to investigate the role of histone acetylation, particularly the function of HDACs, in the regulation of development and stress response.However, how histone acetylation is involved in rice (Oryza sativa L.) disease resistance has hardly been studied.In this paper, four
