Expression and signal regulation of the alternative oxidase genes under abiotic stresses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plants in their natural environment frequently face various abiotic stresses, such as drought, high salinity, and chilling. Plant mitochondria contain an alternative oxidase (AOX), which is encoded by a small family of nuclear genes. AOX genes have been shown to be highly responsive to abiotic stresses. Using transgenic plants with varying levels of AOX expression, it has been confirmed that AOX genes are important for abiotic stress tolerance. Although the roles of AOX under abiotic stresses have been extensively studied and there are several excellent reviews on this topic, the differential expression patterns of the AOX gene family members and the signal regulation of AOX gene(s) under abiotic stresses have not been extensively summarized. Here, we review and discuss the current progress of these two important issues.

Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses that limit crop growth and production. Salt stress influences plants in two ways: by affecting ion toxicity and increasing osmotic stress. Ion homeostasis, the excretion of Na+ and using antioxidant systems are the major strategies of salt tolerance in plants. Na+ and K+ transporters with enzymes that are involved in detoxification of react...

Salt stress is one of the main abiotic stresses for rice that causes negative effects on its growth and productivity. In present study, effects of salt stress on differential gene expression of some genes which are responsible in salt stress were investigated in two rice tolerant and sensitive genotypes (FL478 and IR29) by applying cDNA-AFLP technique. Among the TDFs (Transcript Derived F...
