Epigenetic regulation of JAZ genes confers heat tolerance in rice (PRJCA035812)
To understand the mechanisms of heat tolerance in rice, we performed transcriptomic and epigenomic analysis between rice cultivars N22 and 93-11. We found that JAZ genes are specifically upregulated in N22, which causes repression of JA signaling. We also show that regulation of JAZ genes involves heat-induced DNA methylation change on MITEs transposons in the promoter region of JAZ genes in N22.
