The Genetic Regulation of Secondary Metabolic Pathways in Response to Salinity and Drought as Abiotic Stresses

Global development has generated a plethora of unfavorable and adverse environmental factors for the living organisms in ecosystem. Plants are sessile organisms, they crucial to sustain life on earth. Since plants sessile, face great number challenges related abiotic stresses, such as temperature fluctuation, drought, salinity, flood metal contamination. Salinity drought considered major stresses that negatively affect plants’ growth production useful content. However, have evolved various molecular mechanisms increase their tolerance these stresses. There is whole complex system communication (cross-talk) through massive signaling cascades activated modulated response salinity drought. Secondary metabolites believed play significant roles plant’s resistance stress. Until recently, attempts unravel biosynthetic pathways were limited mainly due inadequate plant genomics resources. recent advancements generating high-throughput “omics” datasets, computational tools functional approach integration aided elucidation many bioactive metabolites. This review gathers comprehensive knowledge involved water deficit Additionally, it offers clues determining genes this measures its activity. It covers basic information regarding molecules how hormones regulate cross-talking mechanism with emphasis transcriptional Moreover, discusses studies illustrate relationship between secondary metabolite production. Furthermore, several transcriptome analysis research papers medicinal illustrated. The aim be key any researcher aspiring study at transcription level.
