“…Many TFs are also functionally regulated by post-translational phosphorylation mechanisms. For instance, bZIP, NAC and DREB TFs are generally phosphorylated by the serine-threonine kinases, MYB/MYC and WRKY TFs are phosphorylated by MAPKs, and CDPKs are involved in phosphorylation of some bZIP TFs (Gahlaut et al, 2016). …”

Abiotic stress negatively impacts cassava (Manihot esculenta) growth and yield. Several molecular mechanisms of plant response to cold and drought have been identified and described in the literature, however, little is known about the crosstalk of the responses of cassava to these two stresses. To elucidate this question, transcriptome analysis of cassava seedlings under cold or PEG-simulated drought stress treatment was performed. Our results showed that 6103 and 7462 transcripts were significantly regulated by cold and drought stress, respectively. Gene Ontology annotation revealed that the abscisic and jasmonic acid signaling pathways shared between the two stresses responses. We further identified 2434 common differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including 1130 up-regulated and 841 down-regulated DEGs by the two stresses. These co-induced or co-suppressed genes are grouped as stress signal perception and transduction, transcription factors (TFs), metabolism as well as transport facilitation according to the function annotation. Furthermore, a large proportion of well characterized protein kinases, TF families and ubiquitin proteasome system related genes, such as RLKs, MAPKs, AP2/ERFBPs, WRKYs, MYBs, E2 enzymes and E3 ligases, including three complexes of interacting proteins were shown as key points of crosstalk between cold and drought stress signaling transduction pathways in a hierarchical manner. Our research provides valuable information and new insights for genetically improving the tolerance of crops to multiple abiotic stresses.

“…Plants being sessile by nature have a system to perceive and respond to conditions such as drought. The perceived signal is transduced and leads to the expression of genes encoding proteins that are involved in providing drought tolerance ( Figure 1) [18]. Adaptation to drought by plants is achieved using two different mechanisms including drought avoidance and drought tolerance, which are not mutually exclusive.…”

Abstract:In recent years, with climate change, drought stress has been witnessed in many parts of the world. In many irrigated regions also, shortage of water supply allows only limited irrigation. These conditions have an adverse effect on the productivity of many crops including cereals such as wheat. Therefore, genetics of drought/water stress tolerance in different crops has become a priority area of research. This research mainly involves use of quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis (involving both interval mapping and association mapping) for traits that are related to water-use efficiency. In this article, we briefly review the available literature on QTL analyses in wheat for traits, which respond to drought/water stress. The outlook for future research in this area and the possible approaches for utilizing the available information on genetics of drought tolerance for wheat breeding are also discussed.

“…0,201x Drought triggers the expression of huge array of genes inside the cell. The expression of these genes is regulated by complex transcriptional factors (Amorim et al, 2016;Gahlaut et al, 2016). Several key genes in this regulatory network have been identified and characterized.…”

Rice (Oryza sativa) falls among the staple food crops in different parts of the globe. In current scenario of climate change, drought stress leads to significant decrease in crop production. It has negative effect on rice growth and development by affecting cellular, physiological and molecular processes. Photo-respiration increases under drought stress leads to overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in different organelles of the cell like chloroplasts, mitochondria and peroxisomes etc., which induce severe oxidative stress in rice. Over production of ROS can cause damage to proteins, lipids and DNA leading to lipid peroxidation, proteins oxidation, mutation, DNA damage that can lead to cell death. Under drought stress, ROS turn over in various organelles overload antioxidant quenching mechanism leading to oxidative damage. Oxidative stress can be overcome by the scavenging system, which consists of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants. Moreover, ROS also acts as signaling molecule and triggers defense mechanism through specific signal transduction network under stress. Under stress condition, activation of molecular cascades is initiated through the perception of stress that leads to the activation of signal transduction pathway including expression of transcription factors and stress related genes. Understanding of this regulatory mechanism of plant development and growth in drought-ROS stress can be promising in the development of improved transgenic rice under this stress. This review will provide an overview of ROS synthesis and signaling pathway under drought condition in rice.
