Histone methylation-transfer of methyl groups to lysines or arginines residues of histone tails-plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic cells. Histone methylation levels are regulated by histone methyltransferases and histone demethylases. There are two types of histone lysine demethylases (KDMs) in eukaryotes: KDM1/LSD1-like and JmjC domain-containing demethylases. KDMs can regulate gene expression directly through histone modification or indirectly through DNA methylation and siRNA regeneration. Recent studies indicate that KDMs play important regulatory roles in plant growth and developmental processes such as flowering time control, hormone response and circadian regulation.
