Chromatin regulation in plant hormone and plant stress responses

The gene expression is tightly regulated temporally and spatially to ensure the plant and animal proper development, function, growth, and survival under different environmental conditions. Chromatin regulation plays a central role in the gene expression by providing transcription factors and the transcription machinery with dynamic access to an otherwise tightly packaged genome. In this review, we will summarize recent progress in understanding the roles of chromatin regulation in the gene expression, and their contribution to the plant hormone and stress responses. We highlight the most recent publications within this topic and underline the roles of chromatin regulation in gene expression.
