The SnRK2 family members are plant-specific serine/threonine kinases involved in plant response to abiotic stresses and abscisic acid (ABA)-dependent plant development. SnRK2s have been classed into three groups; group 1 comprises kinases not activated by ABA, group 2 comprises kinases not activated or activated very weakly by ABA, and group 3 comprises kinases strongly activated by ABA. So far...

Drought severely limits the growth and development of oat (Avena sativa) seedlings. As an osmotic regulator simulating a drought environment, Polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been widely linked in response to plant tolerance. However, underlying mechanism oats’ PEG stress is still largely unknown. Here, we investigated physiological transcriptome variables drought-resistant variety DA92-2F6, droug...

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) regulates the expression of many genes in plants; it has critical functions in stress resistance and in growth and development. Several proteins have been reported to function as ABA receptors, and many more are known to be involved in ABA signalling. However, the identities of ABA receptors remain controversial and the mechanism of signalling from perceptio...

Modern sugarcane cultivars (Saccharum spp. hybrids) are the major contributors to sucrose and bioenergy in world. The global changes gene expression molecular mechanism of heterosis between modern hybrids their parents remain be elucidated. In this study, we performed a comparative transcriptome analysis using Illumina RNA-Seq method understand differences transcript after hybridization. result...

Worldwide, it is known that abiotic and biotic stresses can affect the production of crops by a declining trend. To control situation, SnRK2 (a subfamily 2 SNF1-related protein kinase) overexpression levels induce salt tolerance. This study used dataset for types Arabidopsis thaliana including wild PtSnRK2.7 overexpressed in mock conditions to compare identify stress-responsive genes. A computa...
