Presentation Transcript

  1. Drought Stress Erich Baker

  2. Most drought stress genes ABA-dependent. • Resource conservation mode • Common to many stress response pathways • In drought, often produced in roots, then migrates • Over 300 ABA-induced genes identified (2006)

  3. Inhibits division of cells, slowing growth • Synthesis of cuticle and osmoprotectants • Closing of stomata • Inhibits fruit ripening, seed germination • Downregulates photosynthesis Just adding ABA will inhibit growth, need to selectively activate pathways.

  4. PYR/PYL is ABA receptor • Inhibits PP2C which normally inhibits SnRK2 • Activating SnRK2 activates a wide array of molecules

  5. Some Important Drought Stress Pathways to Consider • MYB transcription factor causes increased cuticle wax deposition • MPKs and ExtCaMs regulate stomatal closure • NAC transcription factors and M6PR synthesize osmoprotectants • ABA represses IPTs and CKXs, slows cell division
