Abstract |
There have been great research advances in epigenetics, RNA splicing, and mRNA processing over recent years. In parallel, there have been many advances in abiotic stress and Abscisic Acid (ABA) signaling. Here we overview studies that have examined stress-induced changes in the epigenome and RNA processing as well as cases where disrupting these processes changes the plant response to abiotic stress. We also highlight some examples where specific connections of stress or ABA signaling to epigenetics or RNA processing have been found. By implication, this also points out cases where such mechanistic connections are likely to exist but are yet to be characterized. In the absence of such specific connections to stress signaling, it should be kept in mind that stress sensitivity phenotypes of some epigenetic or RNA processing mutants maybe the result of indirect, pleiotropic effects and thus may perhaps not indicate a direct function in stress acclimation. |
