Histone acetylation and deacetylation play an important role in plant growth and development by chromatin modifications. Regulation of histone acetylation and deacetylation is controlled by histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases (HDACs) in different tissues and development stages. Knowledge of the importance of genome stability, transcriptional regulation, development and response to stress has been obtained from the model plantArabidopsis. However, little information on biological functions and development or stress-relatedHDACgenes is available in tomato. In this study, nine tomato histone deacetylase genes of the RPD3/HDA1 subfamily, fromSlHDA1-SlHDA9, were characterized to encode histone deacetylase proteins that share high similarity of protein sequences and conserved domains with those of known plant HDACs. TheseHDACgenes have been further subdivided into four groups, namely Class I, Class II, Class III and Class IV based on phylogenetic analysis. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed that the nineSlHDACgenes were expressed in all tissues with different transcript abundance and exhibited different tissue-specific expression profiles, suggesting that they may have crucial and diverse roles in tomato growth and development. Varying degrees of induction were detected in the transcript levels of theseSlHDACsunder various abiotic stresses including NaCl, dehydration, and high/low temperature. These nineSlHDACswere induced by the above stresses with differential/similar induction levels. Overall, this study provides valuable information for further exploring the regulation ofHDACgenes during tomato development and fruit ripening and in response to environmental stresses.
