Study at a glance
- Design
- Animal / in-vitro — MS and ChIP-seq mapping of histone Kbu/Kcr in rice vs H3K9ac under metabolic stress
- N
- Plant chromatin proteomics/ChIP-seq study — no single primary analytic N in stored text
- Population
- Rice (and related plants) under stress conditions
- Outcome
- Distribution and stress dynamics of histone butyrylation/crotonylation
Structured fields used in claim comparison tables when every cited study has a complete layer.
What they did
Mapped Kbu/Kcr sites by MS and ChIP-seq in rice and compared to H3K9ac with transcriptomes under stress.
What they found
Many Kcr sites on H3/H4; Kbu/Kcr resemble acetylation distribution and change with metabolic stress.
The limits
What it doesn't show
Does not prove every site is required for a specific stress phenotype.
