| Summary: | Over a long period of evolution, plant pathogenic fungi have developed a wide range of intricate and sophisticated strategies to invade their host plants, and the precise regulation of gene expression is necessary for interactions between plants and these pathogens. Epigenetic regulation refers to the process of altering DNA and proteins on chromosomes through chemical modifications, thereby regulating gene expression. These epigenetic regulations include DNA methylation, histone methylation, histone acetylation, and chromatin remodeling. Increasing evidence suggests that epigenetic regulation plays a crucial role in transcriptional reprogramming of plant pathogenic fungal genes, which affects their development, environmental stress response, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and pathogenicity. This paper reviewed the recent advancements in epigenetic regulators, including histone modification and chromatin remodeling, and their roles in the development and pathogenicity of plant pathogenic fungi and offered insights into the current research prospects to lay a solid theoretical foundation for future disease control research. |
