Abiotic stress series Emerging MAP kinase pathways in plant stress signalling

چکیده
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways transfer information from sensors to cellular responses in all eukaryotes. A surprisingly large number of genes encoding MAPK pathway components have been uncovered by analysing model plant genomes, suggesting that MAPK cascades are abundant players of signal transduction. Recent investigations have confirmed major roles of defined MAPK pathways in development, cell proliferation and hormone physiology, as well as in biotic and abiotic stress signalling. Latest insights and findings are discussed in the context of novel MAPK pathways in plant stress signalling.

متن کاملThe role of gibberellin signalling in plant responses to abiotic stress.
Plant hormones are small molecules that regulate plant growth and development, as well as responses to changing environmental conditions. By modifying the production, distribution or signal transduction of these hormones, plants are able to regulate and coordinate both growth and/or stress tolerance to promote survival or escape from environmental stress. A central role for the gibberellin (GA)...
متن کاملThe interface between abiotic and biotic stress responses.
Organisms are under strong selection to respond adaptively to environmental stress, even when different stresses occur simultaneously or in rapid succession, as they often do in natural environments. However, at a molecular level, stress responses are often studied in isolation and under controlled growth conditions. This leaves us with an ever-finer picture of single stress responses but littl...
متن کاملTight Interconnection and Multi-Level Control of Arabidopsis MYB44 in MAPK Cascade Signalling
Abiotic stress poses a huge, ever-increasing problem to plants and agriculture. The dissection of signalling pathways mediating stress tolerance is a prerequisite to develop more resistant plant species. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are universal signalling modules. In Arabidopsis, the MAPK MPK3 and its upstream regulator MAPK kinase MKK4 initiate the adaptation response to ...
متن کاملMolecular genetic perspectives on cross-talk and speci®city in abiotic stress signalling in plants
The perception of abiotic stresses and signal transduction to switch on adaptive responses are critical steps in determining the survival and reproduction of plants exposed to adverse environments. Plants have stress-speci®c adaptive responses as well as responses which protect the plants from more than one environmental stress. There are multiple stress perception and signalling pathways, some...
