- Abstract:Nitric oxide(NO) plays an important role in diverse physiological processes in plants.Most abiotic stresses can induce its production in plant cell.Nitric oxide can promote the development and stress tolerance of plants at low concentrations,but is harmful at high concentrations.This review is focused on NO synthesis and its functions in plant responses to abiotic environmental stresses.Nitric oxide alleviates the harmfulness of reactive oxygen species,reacts with other signaling molecules and regulates the...3|2|0<HTML><DownloadPDF> <Meta-XML>Updated:2023-12-22
- Abstract:The ERD genes(early responsive to dehydration) are a member of the genes expressed in response to dehydration-related environmental stresses.Levels of ERD are increased in response to low temperature,drought,or osmotic stress and ABA induced.Although the expression patterns and transcriptional regulation of ERD s have been well characterized,the biochemical function of these genes and their physiological role in plants during stress conditions are not fully understood.Studies are under way to evaluate which...2|2|0<HTML><DownloadPDF> <Meta-XML>Updated:2023-12-22
- Abstract:The prion protein and the lipid raft proteins are the current emphases.The normal cellular prion protein,PrP C,may lead to the occurrence of the spongiform encephalopathy by its transconformation PrP Sc,the scrapie prion protein.However,the mechanism of how PrP C convert to PrP Sc is unclear until now.PrP C is an important signal transduction protein,triggering a serial of signal transduction events.The flotillins belongs to the newly-named SPFH(stomatin/prohibitin/flotillin/HflK/C)protein family,and it is ...0|2|0<HTML><DownloadPDF> <Meta-XML>Updated:2023-12-22
