TLDR
The review outlines the concept of epigenetic control of interconnected regulatory pathways steering stress responses and plant development and summarizes recent findings on global alterations in chromatin structure, histone and DNA modifications, and ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling during plant senescence and linked processes.Abstract:
Senescence processes are part of the plant developmental programme. They involve reprogramming of gene expression and are under the control of a complex regulatory network closely linked to other developmental and stressresponsive pathways. Recent evidence indicates that leaf senescence is regulated via epigenetic mechanisms. In the present review, the epigenetic control of plant senescence is discussed in the broader context of environmentsensitive plant development. The review outlines the concept of epigenetic control of interconnected regulatory pathways steering stress responses and plant development. Besides giving an overview of techniques used in the field, it summarizes recent findings on global alterations in chromatin structure, histone and DNA modifications, and ATPdependent chromatin remodelling during plant senescence and linked processes.read more

Somatic embryogenesis - Stress-induced remodeling of plant cell fate.
TL;DR: The present knowledge on chromatin-based mechanisms potentially involved in the somatic-to-embryogenic developmental transition is summarized, emphasizing the potential role of the chromatin to integrate stress, hormonal, and developmental pathways leading to the activation of the embryogenic program.

Blocking histone deacetylation in Arabidopsis induces pleiotropic effects on plant gene regulation and development. [Erratum: June 19, 2001, v. 98 (13), p. 7647.]
TL;DR: In this article, AtHD1 expression and deacetylation profiles were associated with various developmental abnormalities, including early senescence, ectopic expression of silenced genes, suppression of apical dominance, homeotic changes, heterochronic shift toward juvenility, flower defects, and male and female sterility.

Stress-induced structural changes in plant chromatin
TL;DR: This review highlights some of the most recent findings on nuclear reorganization, histone variants, hist one chaperones, DNA- and histone modifications, and somatic and meiotic heritability in connection with stress.

Integration of multi-omics techniques and physiological phenotyping within a holistic phenomics approach to study senescence in model and crop plants.
TL;DR: This review addresses the need for the integration of multi-omics techniques and physiological phenotyping into holistic phenomics approaches to dissect the complex phenomenon of senescence and to elucidate the underlying molecular processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant organ senescence - regulation by manifold pathways.
TL;DR: A universal nature of senescence is demonstrated, despite this process occurring in organs that have completely different functions, it is very similar; this will provide a powerful tool for plant physiology research.

TL;DR: Deep sequencing of smRNAs revealed a direct relationship between the location of sm RNAs and DNA methylation, perturbation of smRNA biogenesis upon loss of CpG DNA methylisation, and a tendency for smRN as to direct strand-specific DNA methylations in regions of RNA-DNA homology.

Genome-Wide Analysis of the ERF Gene Family in Arabidopsis and Rice
TL;DR: It was concluded that the major functional diversification within the ERF family predated the monocot/dicot divergence and might have been due to chromosomal/segmental duplication and tandem duplication, as well as more ancient transposition and homing.

TL;DR: Gel mobility shift assay using mutant DREB proteins showed that the two amino acids, valine and glutamic acid conserved in the ERF/AP2 domains, especially valine, have important roles in DNA-binding specificity.
