The effect of γ-butyrolactone (MB3) treatment on the transcript response after wounding of Arabidopsis thaliana roots. The effect of γ-butyrolactone (MB3) treatment on the transcript response after wounding of Arabidopsis thaliana roots

In a previous study, we found that wound-induced transcriptional expression is strongly correlated with an increase of the level of acetylation of the N-tails of histone 3 . To investigate if the increase in histone acetylation is a prerequisite for the induction of wound-induced gene expression, we performed transcriptional profiling of wounded roots with and without treatment with γ-butyrolactone (MB3), a chemical inhibitor of GNAT-MYST family of histone acetyltransferase .
