Encodes a histone deacetylase that enhances AtERF7-mediated transcriptional repression. Binds SIM3 and ERF7. Expressed in the nucleus in most tissues examined and throughout the life of the plant. Involved in jasmonic acid and ethylene dependent pathogen resistance. The sequence in GenBank has 17 AG dinucleotide repeats missing, which is also missing in Ler shotgun sequence from Cereon. Although it is annotated to be in Columbia, the GB sequence is probably not of Columbia origin. Plays a role in embryogenesis as mutants grown at higher temperatures display abnormalities in the organization of the root and shoot. Plant lines expressing an RNAi construct targeted against HDA19 shows some resistance to agrobacterium-mediated root transformation. HDA19 acts in a WOX5 mediated pathway to maintain columella stem cell fate by repressing CDF4. Class I RPD3-like family HDAC member which controls positive responses to salinity stress.
