  • DNA methylation and H3K9 dimethylation are two linked epigenetic marks of silenced chromatin in plants that depend on the activity of CMT3/2 and SUVH4/5/6. Here the authors identify AGDP1 as an H3K9me2-binding protein required for heterochromatic non-CG DNA methylation, H3K9 dimethylation, and transcriptional silencing.

  • The flowering time and clock-related protein GIGANTEA has been broadly implicated in the development and physiology of plants. Kim and colleagues studyArabidopsisand find that GIGANTEA modulates salt stress via the release of the protein kinase SOS2, which is required for salt tolerance.

  • The ability of crop plants to tolerate high salt concentrations is an agriculturally useful trait. A new study in rice shows that allelic variation in OsHKT8, which encodes a Na+ transporter, contributes to the enhanced capacity of a salt-tolerant variety to maintain shoot K+ homeostasis under NaCl stress.

  • Dong-Ha Oh and colleagues report the draft genome of the extremophile crucifer plant Thellungiella parvula. This species is endemic to highly saline environments subject to extreme temperatures. The genome was primarily assembled using next-generation sequencing data.
