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.

Comprehensive Analysis of Silencing Mutants Reveals Complex Regulation of the Arabidopsis Methylome
TL;DR: The methylomes of a comprehensive list of 86 Arabidopsis gene silencing mutants are surveyed by generating single-nucleotide resolution maps of DNA methylation and it is found thatDNA methylation is site specifically regulated by different factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced DNA methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana results in abnormal plant development
TL;DR: Observations suggest that DNA methylation plays an important role in regulating many developmental pathways in plants and that the developmental abnormalities seen in the methyltransferase antisense plants may be due to dysregulation of gene expression.

DEMETER DNA Glycosylase Establishes MEDEA Polycomb Gene Self-Imprinting by Allele-Specific Demethylation

TL;DR: DME is responsible for endosperm maternal-allele-specific hypomethylation at the MEA gene, which establishes MEA imprinting by removing 5-methylcytosine to activate the maternal allele and is subsequently maintained in theendosperm by maternal MEA silencing the paternal allele.

TL;DR: The substantial diversification of HATs and HDACs that has occurred since the divergence of plants, animals and fungi suggests a surprising degree of evolutionary plasticity and functional diversification in these core chromatin components.

Targets of the WRKY53 transcription factor and its role during leaf senescence in Arabidopsis.
TL;DR: The results suggest that WRKY53 acts in a complex transcription factor signalling network regulating senescence specific gene expression and that hydrogen peroxide might be involved in signal transduction.
