Abstract:
Roots are essential to terrestrial plants, as their growth and morphology are crucial for plant development. The growth of the roots is affected and regulated by several internal and external environmental signals and metabolic pathways. Among them, chromatin modification plays an important regulatory role. In this study, we explore the potential roles of the histone deacetylase AtHD2D in root development and lay the foundation for further research on the biological processes and molecular mechanisms of AtHD2D in the future. Our study indicates that AtHD2D affects the root tip microenvironment homeostasis by affecting the gene transcription levels required to maintain the root tip microenvironment. In addition, we confirmed that AtHD2D is involved in regulating Arabidopsis lateral root development and further explained the possible role of AtHD2D in auxin-mediated lateral root development. AtHD2D can effectively enhance the resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana to abiotic stress. We believe that AtHD2D is involved in coping with abiotic stress by promoting the development of lateral roots. Overexpression of AtHD2D promotes the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in roots, indicating that AtHD2D is also involved in developing lateral roots mediated by ROS. Previous studies have shown that the overexpression of AtHD2D can effectively enhance the resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana to abiotic stress. Based on our data, we believe that AtHD2D participates in the response to abiotic stress by promoting the development of lateral roots. AtHD2D-mediated lateral root development provides new ideas for studying the mechanism of HDAC protein in regulating root development.
