Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All living things must adapt and respond to stresses, both internal and external. These responses must be coordinated from the organelle to the organism level, on timescales from seconds to months, to achieve a successful outcome. In my dissertation research I studied the regulation, interplay, and overlap of stress signaling networks, primarily utilizing the general stress response (GSR) as a model: a central signaling pathway key in adapting to imposed stresses. First, I conducted forward and chemical genetic screens using reporter plants expressing luciferase under the control of a functional GSR cis element, the rapid stress response element (4xRSRE:LUC). These allowed me to identify a role for mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling in regulation of both the amplitude and timing of general stress responses. A role for MAPK signaling in activation of diverse stress responses as well as developmental processes has been demonstrated, but my work showing MAPK regulation of timing of the plant GSR identified a new axis along which these signaling cascades control stress responses. I expanded this result to publish a protocol for the chemical genetic screening procedure as used in this discovery. In a second approach for understanding plant stress signaling, I also studied interactions among signaling pathways affecting the GSR, including both stress-activated and primarily non-stress-associated pathways. Among stress-independent pathways, I selected brassinosteroid signaling; this plant hormone is primarily associated with growth, but has published interactions with abiotic stress tolerance and inhibition of microbe recognition. Surprisingly, I found that brassinosteroid signaling, independent of interactions with tested stress-associated hormones exerted a positive effect on abiotic (wound) induced GSR, but a negative effect on biotic (pathogen) induced GSR. This result, held up in long-term stress adaptation, supports the notion that growth vs. stress response signaling consists not of simple antagonism, but fine-tuning depending on the nature of the relative pathways. Altogether, my work has revealed novel interaction and regulation points in stress signaling networks, advancing our understanding of the continuous adaptation to environmental conditions that is key for plant survival.

This book was released on 2013-06-21 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant diseases, extreme weather caused by climate change, drought and an increase in metals in soil are amongst the major limiting factors of crop production worldwide. They devastate not only food supply but also the economy of a nation. Keeping in view of the global food scarcity, there is, an urgent need to develop crop plants with increased stress tolerance so as to meet the global food demands and to preserve the quality of our planet. In order to do this, it is necessary to understand how plants react and adapt to stress from the genomic and proteomic perspective. Plants adapt to stress conditions by activation of cascades of molecular mechanisms, which result in alterations in gene expression and synthesis of protective proteins/compounds. From the perception of the stimulus to transduction of the signal, followed by an appropriate response, the plants employ a complex network of primary and secondary messenger molecules. Cell signaling is the component of a complex system of communication that directs basic cellular activities and synchronizes cell actions. Cells exercise a large number of noticeably distinct signaling pathways to regulate their activity. In order to contend with different environmental adversities plants have developed a series of mechanisms at the physiological, cellular and molecular level. This two volume set takes an in-depth look at the Stress Signaling in Plants from a uniquely genomic and proteomics perspective. Stress Signaling in Plants offers a comprehensive treatise on the Chapter, covering all of the signaling pathways and mechanisms that have been researched so far. Each chapter provides in-depth explanation of what we currently know of a particular aspect of stress signaling and where we are headed. All authors have currently agreed and abstracts have been complied for the first volume, due out midway through 2012. We aim to have the second volume out at the beginning of 2013.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Facing stressful conditions imposed by their environment and affecting their growth and their development throughout their life cycle, plants must be able to perceive, to process and to translate different stimuli into adaptive responses. Understanding the organism-coordinated responses involves a fine description of the mechanisms occurring at the cellular and molecular level. A major challenge is also to understand how the large diversity of molecules identified as signals, sensors or effectors could drive a cell to the appropriate plant response and to finally cope with various environmental cues. In this Research Topic we aim to provide an overview of various signaling mechanisms or to present new molecular signals involved in stress response and to demonstrate how basic/fundamental research on cell signaling will help to understand stress responses at the whole plant level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing interest has been emerging in the last decade in the field of signal recognition and transduction. This is particularly true for animal systems where an impressive amount of literature is appearing and where many important pathways have been clarified at a molecular level. In the elucidation of the functions of single components of a given pathway, gene cloning has played a major role and opened the field to the genetic engineering of these complex systems. At variance with this situation, plant systems are less well elucidated, even if in recent years exciting research of developments have been initiated especially with the view toward the most promising role plants in biotechnology. Recent studies have elucidated some of the events involved in the perception of the plant hormone signals and some steps concerning its transduction. Only for three of the five hormones in plants, namely auxin, ethylene and cytokinins, have specific receptors been isolated. The use of classical molecular approaches, together with the more recently isolated mutants, have produced crucial information on receptors and shed light on possible transduction pathways. As in the case of red light, more than one pathway can be triggered by one specific signal. Many systems involved in animal signaling are now shown to be present also in plants, and in view of the fast progress in this area, it will be possible in the near future to fully describe the content of the "black boxes" in the reaction chain specifically triggered by a signal.

Download or read book Investigation of Early Signaling Mechanisms in Plant Osmotic Stress Response written by Kelly Stecker and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How plants perceive and respond to water loss on a molecular level is a fundamental question in plant biology. Understanding the cellular signaling mechanism involved in sensing dehydration and initiating adaptive responses provides a tool for plant biologists to use in engineering crops with enhanced drought tolerance and water use efficiency as well as with developing new chemical approaches towards alleviating the negative effects of drought on crop yields. The increasing frequency and severity of drought, along with the depletion of fresh water resources, fortifies the need to understand the molecular networks that control drought response in plants. Currently the molecular mechanisms involved in the initial perception of dehydration are poorly understood. In this dissertation I present my work towards identifying previously unknown proteins involved in the initial dehydration response, using mass spectrometry based quantitative proteomic and reverse genetic approaches. Employing the model system Arabidopsis thaliana and hyperosmotic stress conditions to simulate water loss, I first identified proteins whose level of phosphorylation changes in response to short-term stress treatments, using quantitative untargeted mass spectrometry based phosphoproteomics technologies. From this work I identified proteins whose phosphorylation state changed within 5 minutes of stress treatment. To further characterize these proteins, I developed targeted proteomic assays to more routinely measure protein phosphorylated across many biotic and abiotic stress conditions. From this analysis I characterized a set of proteins that are uniquely regulated at the posttranslational level by rapid dehydration. These proteins are involved in cellular process such as mRNA degradation, microtubule restructuring, transcription factor activation, phospholipid signaling, and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling and help elucidate the role that these processes play in the initial dehydration response. This work is presented in Chapter 2 of my dissertation. To validate the biological significance of proteins identified in my phosphoproteome analysis, I used reverse genetics to investigate Vac14, an uncharacterized protein in plants that displayed the largest change in phosphorylation under osmotic stress conditions. Vac14 is a highly conserved protein involved in the biosynthesis of the low abundant phospholipid phosphatidylinositol-3,5 bisphosphate, which regulates vacuole function and endomembrane vesicle transport in yeast and mammals. I demonstrate that Vac14 is an essential gene in plants and is responsible for regulating water homeostasis in cells. Vac14 overexpression mutants have increased drought tolerance and improved ability to germinate under water- limited conditions. This work is presented in Chapter 3 and supports the biological significance of proteins identified in my discovery phosphoproteomic work in Chapter 2. Finally, in Chapter 4 I describe my preliminary results in developing a new method for detecting proteins involved in cell signaling events through direct measurement of protein conformational changes. This method uses thermal denaturation profiling and untargeted quantitative mass spectrometry to identify proteins whose conformation has changed in response to in vitro or in vivo treatment conditions. Together, the data presented in this thesis demonstrate the utility of mass spectrometric based proteomic technologies for discovering previously unidentified proteins involved in cell signaling events and provides valuable insight into pathways activated during the initial few minutes of the osmotic stress response in plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The entire range of the developmental process in plants is regulated by a shift in the hormonal concentration, tissue sensitivity and their interaction with the factors operating around the plants. Phytohormones play a crucial role in regulating the direction of plant in a coordinated fashion in association with metabolism that provides energy and the building blocks to generate the form that we recognize as a plant. Out of the recognized hormones, attention has largely been focused on Auxins, Gibberellins, Cytokinins, Abscisic acid, Ethylene and more recently on Brassinosteroids. In this book we are providing the information about a brassinosteroids that again confirm its status as phytohormones because it has significant impact on various aspects of the plant life and its ubiquitous distribution throughout the plant kingdom. Brassinosteroids are generating a significant impact on plant growth and development, photosynthesis, transpiration, ion uptake and transport, induces specific changes in leaf anatomy and chloroplast structure. This book is not an encyclopedia of reviews but includes a selected collection of newly written, integrated, illustrated reviews describing our knowledge of brassinosteroids. The aim of this book is to tell all about brassinosteroids, by the present time. The various chapters incorporate both theoretical and practical aspects and may serve as baseline information for future researches through which significant development is possible. It is intended that this book will be useful to the students, teachers and researchers, both in universities and research institutes, especially in relation to biological and agricultural sciences.

This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Priming-Mediated Stress and Cross-Stress Tolerance in Crop Plants provides the latest, in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanisms associated with the development of stress and cross-stress tolerance in plants. Plants growing under field conditions are constantly exposed, either sequentially or simultaneously, to many abiotic or biotic stress factors. As a result, many plants have developed unique strategies to respond to ever-changing environmental conditions, enabling them to monitor their surroundings and adjust their metabolic systems to maintain homeostasis. Recently, priming mediated stress and cross-stress tolerance (i.e., greater tolerance to a second, stronger stress after exposure to a different, milder primary stress) have attracted considerable interest within the scientific community as potential means of stress management and for producing stress-resistant crops to aid global food security. Priming-Mediated Stress and Cross-Stress Tolerance in Crop Plants comprehensively reviews the physiological, biochemical, and molecular basis of cross-tolerance phenomena, allowing researchers to develop strategies to enhance crop productivity under stressful conditions and to utilize natural resources more efficiently. The book is a valuable asset for plant and agricultural scientists in corporate or government environments, as well as educators and advanced students looking to promote future research into plant stress tolerance. Provides comprehensive information for developing multiple stress-tolerant crop varieties Includes in-depth physiological, biochemical, and molecular information associated with cross-tolerance Includes contribution from world-leading cross-tolerance research group Presents color images and diagrams for effective communication of key concepts
