Chromatin remodeling and transcriptional reprogramming are key mechanisms through which plants respond to environmental challenges.Nucleosomal dynamics associated with the pres-ence/absence (incorporation/eviction) of the histone variant H2A.Z is one of the key chromatin remodeling mechanisms asso-ciated with environmental response (Coleman-Derr and Zilberman,2012).Very recently,some excellent papers (Shang et al.,2021;Willige et al.,2021;Xue et al.,2021) have addressed the role of a less-explored component of this chro-matin remodeling-the INO80 complex.Here,we discuss novel insights revealed in these papers and their potential impacts.
