Overview of histone and non-histone protein acetylation events that have been demonstrated to alter plant immunity. Pathogen infection results in modulation of HAT and HDAC activity, which alters the histone acetylation state of specific defense gene promoters thereby promoting either susceptibility or resistance. Several pathogen effector proteins encode acetyltransferase enzymes that directly acetylate host proteins and alter plant immunity. JA, jasmonic acid; ET, ethylene; SA, salicylic acid; HAT, histone acetyltransferase; HDAC, histone deacetylase; HDACi, histone deacetylase inhibitor; RRS1, Toll/Interleukin1 receptor type R protein; RPM1, intracellular nucleotide binding-leucine-rich repeat R protein.
