A highly conserved kinase is an essential component for stress tolerance in yeast and plant cells.

چکیده
Osmotic stress (drought, salt stress) is a major limiting factor for crop productivity in the world. Because cellular responses to osmotic stress are thought to be conserved in eukaryotes and because yeast is much more amenable than plants to genetic research, a functional strategy has been performed to identify limiting steps in osmotolerance of plants based on the complementation of yeast with a plant library. A new plant cDNA that encodes a functional homologue of the yeast Dbf2 kinase enhances salt, drought, cold, and heat tolerance upon overexpression in yeast as well as in transgenic plant cells.

Differential expression of BnSRK2D gene in two Brassica napus cultivars under water deficit stress
The sucrose non-fermenting 1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) family members are plant unique serine/threonine kinases which play a key role in cellular signaling in response to abiotic stresses. The three SnRK2 members including SRK2D, SRK2I and SRK2E are known to phosphorylate major abscisic acid (ABA) responsive transcription factors, ABF2 and ABF4, involved in an ABA-dependent stress signal...
متن کاملSesterin as a biomolecule
Sestrins (Sesns), highly conserved stress-inducing metabolic proteins, are known to protect organisms against various harmful stimuli including DNA damage, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and hypoxia. Sestrins regulate metabolism mainly through activation of AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK) and inhibition of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Sestrins also play a pivotal role...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of adenylate kinase from the human filarial parasite Onchocerca volvulus
Adenylate kinases (ADK) are ubiquitous enzymes that contribute to the homeostasis of adeninenucleotides in living cells. In this study, the cloning of a cDNA encoding an adenylate kinase from the filariaOnchocerca volvulus has been described. Using PCR technique, a 281 bp cDNA fragment encoding part ofan adenylate kinase was isolated from an O. volvulus cDNA library. Use of this fragment as a p...

Among different environmental stresses, drought is of great importance that induces a highly negative effect on crop production. In order to evaluate drought tolerance in dryland wheat genotypes, 36 genotypes were studied in a randomized complete block design with three replications under rainfed (drought stress) and supplemental irrigation conditions during 2016–2017 growing season in Research...
