Regulatory networks of the phytohormone abscisic acid.

چکیده
Structurally similar to retinoic acid (RA), the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) controls many developmental and physiological processes via complicated signaling networks that are composed of receptors, secondary messengers, protein kinase/phosphatase cascades, transcription factors, and chromatin-remodeling factors. In addition, ABA signaling is further modulated by mRNA maturation and stability, microRNA (miRNA) levels, nuclear speckling, and protein degradation. This chapter highlights the identified regulators of ABA signaling and reports their homologues in dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants.

Background: In peppermint, precursors for the biosynthesis of monoterpenes are provided by plastidial methyl-erythritol-phosphate (MEP) pathways. Objective: In order to increase our understanding of terpene metabolism in M. piperita, the effect of salicylic acid (SA) and abscisic acid (ABA) in the modulation of expression pattern of genes involved in essential oil biosynthesis and secretion wa...
متن کاملDetermination and quantification of two regulatory phytohormones extracted from Sargassum muticum and Gracilaria corticata seaweeds in the south of Iran
In the present study, two regulatory phytohormones, abscisic acid and auxin, were extracted from two different macroalgae, Sargassum muticum and Gracilaria corticata, for the first time. Sampling was performed each month with three replicates, from Bushehr Province shores located in the north region of Persian Gulf for six alternative months. The alteration of seaweeds biomass and the probable ...
متن کاملInvestigation into the Physiological Significance of the Phytohormone Abscisic Acid in Perkinsus marinus, an Oyster Parasite Harboring a Nonphotosynthetic Plastid
Some organisms have retained plastids even after they have lost the ability to photosynthesize. Several studies of nonphotosynthetic plastids in apicomplexan parasites have shown that the isopentenyl pyrophosphate biosynthesis pathway in the organelle is essential for their survival. A phytohormone, abscisic acid, one of several compounds biosynthesized from isopentenyl pyrophosphate, regulates...
متن کاملProtein Ubiquitination: An Emerging Theme in Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance
The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) effectively and efficiently controls the abundance of regulatory proteins, removes abnormal proteins and regulates the activity of signalling proteins. This allows for control of regulatory networks and adaptation to external stimuli. Plants utilize the UPS to alter their proteome, to modulate cellular activity and thus cope with unfavourable growth conditi...
متن کاملComparative Transcriptome Analysis between Gynoecious and Monoecious Plants Identifies Regulatory Networks Controlling Sex Determination in Jatropha curcas
Most germplasms of the biofuel plant Jatropha curcas are monoecious. A gynoecious genotype of J. curcas was found, whose male flowers are aborted at early stage of inflorescence development. To investigate the regulatory mechanism of transition from monoecious to gynoecious plants, a comparative transcriptome analysis between gynoecious and monoecious inflorescences were performed. A total of 3...
