RIKEN group relates salt tolerance of plants to epigenetic modifications

A group at RIKEN found through experiments on Arabidopsis thaliana that Ky-2, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, enhanced high-salinity stress tolerance in this plant. Ky-2 activates the transcription of AtSOS1, a sodium antiporter, by increasing histone acetylation
