Abstract:

Plants are frequently exposed to adverse environments during their life span. Among them drought stress is one of the major threats to agricultural productivity. In order to survive in such unstable environment, plants have developed mechanisms through which they recognize the severity of the stress based on the incoming environmental stimuli. To combat the detrimental effects of drought, the plants have evolved various strategies to modulate their physio-hormonal attributes. These strategies that can be modulated by shade and microbes contribute to enhancing tolerance to drought and reducing yield loss. Plant hormones, such as abscisic acid, auxin and ethylene have a major role in the shade- and microbe-associated improvement of drought tolerance through their effects on various metabolic pathways. In this process, the CLAVATA3/EMBRYOSURROUNDING REGION-RELATED 25 peptide has a major role due to its effect on ABA synthesis as shown in our regulatory model.

摘要:
荫蔽和微生物可在分子水平上调控植物激素以增强植物的耐旱性
植物在其生命周期内会受到一系列不利环境的影响。其中,干旱胁迫是限制农业生产力的重要因素之一。为了在逆境的环境中得以生存,植物进化出了识别环境胁迫严重性的机制。植物可通过多种方式调节激素活性,以减轻干旱带来的不良影响。受荫蔽和微生物调控,植株的抗旱性提高,产量损失减少。脱落酸、生长素和乙烯等植物激素,可调控多种代谢途径,在荫蔽和微生物介导的植株抗旱性增强过程中起着重要作用。如我们的调控模型所示,CLAVATA3/EMBRYOSURROUNDING REGION-RELATED 25多肽因其可影响ABA合成而在此过程中具有重要作用。
