Abstract
AEDL peptide and NaCl affect on the ultrastructure and expression of DNA and lysine methyltransferase genes in Nicotiana tabacum L. regenerants
Highlights
In which the epigenetic status is updated in each generation, in plants, epimutations can be steadily inherited, and are important for evolution
The mutual transformation of heterochromatin and euchromatin is primarily due to modifications of the histone proteins and the main modifications are the methylation of lysine residues
The presence of NaCl leads to an increase in the expression of the lysine methyltransferase gene - SUVR3, methylated H3K9, and decreased in the expression of the ASHR3 gene encoding the lysine methyltransferase, methylated H3K4
Summary
The most studied epigenetic modifications of the genome are DNA methylation and histone proteins. In which the epigenetic status is updated in each generation, in plants, epimutations can be steadily inherited, and are important for evolution. Along with morphological changes as a result of the action of a high concentration (150 mM) of NaCl on tobacco regenerants (Nicotiana tabacum L.), changes in the ultrastructure of cell compartments in plant tissues, in particular nuclei and mitochondria, were observed.
