Epigenetic–epitranscriptomic crosstalk through TaHAG1–TaNSUN2 coordinates thermotolerance in wheat

High temperature is a primary abiotic stress that severely constrains crop productivity. Deciphering the regulatory pathways underlying heat responses is essential for breeding heat-tolerant crops with stable yields. Although both epigenetic and epitranscriptomic regulations are involved in plant heat adaptation, their...

TaHDA1-mediated histone and non-histone deacetylation orchestrates drought tolerance in wheat.

Drought stress severely constrains wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and productivity. Here, we identify the histone deacetylase TaHDA1 as a negative regulator of drought tolerance in wheat. We demonstrate that TaHDA1 interacts with and deacetylates the L-glutamate decarboxylase TaGAD1 at lysine 493, promoting its ub...
