Little is known about the role of genetic and epigenetic control in the spatial and temporal regulation of plant development. Overexpressing antisenseArabidopsis thaliana HD1(AtHD1) encoding a putative major histone deacetylase induces pleiotropic effects on plant growth and development. It is unclear whether the developmental abnormalities are caused by a defectiveAtHD1or related homologs and are heritable in selfing progeny. We isolated a stable antisenseAtHD1(CASH) transgenic line and a T-DNA insertion line in exon 2 ofAtHD1, resulting in a null allele (athd1-t1). Bothathd1-t1and CASH lines display increased levels of histone acetylation and similar developmental abnormalities, which are heritable in the presence of antisenseAtHD1or in the progeny of homozygous (athd1-t1/athd1-t1) plants. Furthermore, when theathd1-t1/athd1-t1plants are crossed to wild-type plants, the pleiotropic developmental abnormalities are immediately restored in the F1hybrids, which correlates withAtHD1expression and reduction of histone H4 Lys12 acetylation. Unlike the situation with the stable code of DNA and histone methylation, developmental changes induced by histone deacetylase defects are immediately reversible, probably through the restoration of a reversible histone acetylation code needed for the normal control of gene regulation and development.
