Histone acetylation associated up-regulation of the cell wall related genes is involved in salt stress induced maize root swelling
TL;DR: Analysis of cell morphological alterations in maize roots as a consequence of excess salinity in relation to the transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of the cell wall related protein genes suggested that the up-regulation of somecell wall related genes mediated cell enlargement to possibly mitigate the salinity-induced ionic toxicity.
Zinc oxide nanoparticles-induced epigenetic change and G2/M arrest are associated with apoptosis in human epidermal keratinocytes.
TL;DR: ZnO NPs induced cell cycle arrest at the G2/M checkpoint before the viability of human epidermal keratinocytes was reduced, which was associated with epigenetic changes and accompanied by p53-Bax mitochondrial pathway-mediated apoptosis.

TL;DR: Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis reveals that dynamic histone acetylation change in the promoter region of cell cycle genes is involved in the control of gene expression in response to external stress, resulting in prolonged cell cycle duration and an inhibitory effect on growth and development in maize seedlings.

TL;DR: Heat stress persistently induced PCD in maize seedling leaves which was characterized by chromatin DNA laddering and DNA strand breaks detected by a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) test.

Promoter-associated histone acetylation is involved in the osmotic stress-induced transcriptional regulation of the maize ZmDREB2A gene.
TL;DR: It is suggested that osmotic stress activates the transcription of the ZmDREB2A gene by increasing the levels of acetylated histones H3K9 and H4K5 associated with the ZMDREb2A promoter region.
