In recent years, many studies have explored the role and mechanism of WRKY family members from model plants to agricultural crops and other species. Abiotic stress adversely affects the growth and development of plants. Thus, a review of WRKY with stress responses is important to increase our understanding of abiotic stress responses in plants. Here, we summarize the structural characteristics and regulatory mechanism of WRKY transcription factors and their responses to abiotic stress. We also discuss current issues and future perspectives of WRKY transcription factor research. Keywords: WRKY transcription factor; abiotic stress; gene structural characteristics; regulatory mechanism; drought; salinity; heat; cold; ultraviolet radiation 1. Introduction As a fixed-growth organism, plants are exposed to a variety of environmental conditions and may encounter many abiotic stresses, for example, drought, waterlogging, heat, cold, salinity, and Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation. To adapt and counteract the effects of such abiotic stresses, plants have evolved several molecular mechanisms involving signal transduction and gene expression [1,2].

  • Biologically Active Compounds in Seaweed Extracts Useful in Animal Diet
    20 The Open Conference Proceedings Journal, 2012, 3, (Suppl 1-M4) 20-28 Open Access Biologically Active Compounds in Seaweed Extracts - the Prospects for the Application Katarzyna Chojnacka*, Agnieszka Saeid, Zuzanna Witkowska and Łukasz Tuhy Institute of Inorganic Technology and Mineral Fertilizers, Wroclaw University of Technology ul. Smoluchowskiego 25, 50-372 Wroclaw, Poland Abstract: The paper covers the latest developments in research on the utilitarian properties of algal extracts. Their appli- cation as the components of pharmaceuticals, feeds for animals and fertilizers was discussed. The classes of various bio- logically active compounds were characterized in terms of their role and the mechanism of action in an organism of hu- man, animal and plant. Recently, many papers have been published which discuss the methods of manufacture and the composition of algal ex- tracts. The general conclusion is that the composition of extracts strongly depends on the raw material (geographical loca- tion of harvested algae and algal species) as well as on the extraction method. The biologically active compounds which are transferred from the biomass of algae to the liquid phase include polysaccharides, proteins, polyunsaturated fatty ac- ids, pigments, polyphenols, minerals, plant growth hormones and other. They have well documented beneficial effect on humans, animals and plants, mainly by protection of an organism from biotic and abiotic stress (antibacterial activity, scavenging of free radicals, host defense activity etc.) and can be valuable components of pharmaceuticals, feed additives and fertilizers. Keywords: Algal extracts, feed additives, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, biologically active compounds. 1.

Similarly, the exogenous application of JA also has a regulatory effect on plants. Abiotic stress often causes large-scale plant damage. In this review, we focus on the JA signaling pathways in response to abiotic stresses, including cold, drought, salinity, heavy metals, and light. On the other hand, JA does not play an independent regulatory role, but works in a complex signal network with other phytohormone signaling pathways. In this review, we will discuss transcription factors and genes involved in the regulation of the JA signaling pathway in response to abiotic stress. In this process, the JAZ-MYC module plays a central role in the JA signaling pathway through integration of regulatory transcription factors and related genes. Simultaneously, JA has synergistic and antagonistic effects with abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene (ET), salicylic acid (SA), and other plant hormones in the process of resisting environmental stress.

  • Abscisic Acid Mediates Drought and Salt Stress Responses in Vitis Vinifera—A Review
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Abscisic Acid Mediates Drought and Salt Stress Responses in Vitis vinifera—A Review Daniel Marusig and Sergio Tombesi * Dipartimento di Scienze delle Produzioni Vegetali Sostenibili, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, 29122 Piacenza, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0523-599221 Received: 21 October 2020; Accepted: 15 November 2020; Published: 17 November 2020 Abstract: The foreseen increase in evaporative demand and reduction in rainfall occurrence are expected to stress the abiotic constrains of drought and salt concentration in soil. The intensification of abiotic stresses coupled with the progressive depletion in water pools is a major concern especially in viticulture, as most vineyards rely on water provided by rainfall. Because its economical relevance and its use as a model species for the study of abiotic stress effect on perennial plants, a significant amount of literature has focused on Vitis vinifera, assessing the physiological mechanisms occurring under stress. Despite the complexity of the stress-resistance strategy of grapevine, the ensemble of phenomena involved seems to be regulated by the key hormone abscisic acid (ABA). This review aims at summarizing our knowledge on the role of ABA in mediating mechanisms whereby grapevine copes with abiotic stresses and to highlight aspects that deserve more attention in future research. Keywords: ABA; grapevine; stomata; drought; metabolism; carbohydrates; salinity 1. Introduction Climate change is expected to have negative impacts on the socioeconomic system [1]. Despite the discrepancy between the projected scenarios, even the most optimistic models foresee an increase in the occurrence and duration of anomalous droughts, especially in the Mediterranean-climate regions, where water sources will be increasingly scarce [2].

  • The Effect of Abscisic Acid Chronic Treatment on Neuroinflammatory
    Sánchez-Sarasúa et al. Nutrition & Metabolism (2016) 13:73 DOI 10.1186/s12986-016-0137-3 RESEARCH Open Access The effect of abscisic acid chronic treatment on neuroinflammatory markers and memory in a rat model of high-fat diet induced neuroinflammation Sandra Sánchez-Sarasúa1†, Salma Moustafa1†, Álvaro García-Avilés1, María Fernanda López-Climent2, Aurelio Gómez-Cadenas2, Francisco E. Olucha-Bordonau1 and Ana M. Sánchez-Pérez1* Abstract Background: Western diet and lifestyle are associated with overweight, obesity, and type 2 diabetes, which, in turn, are correlated with neuroinflammation processes. Exercise and a healthy diet are important in the prevention of these disorders. However, molecules inhibiting neuroinflammation might also be efficacious in the prevention and/or treatment of neurological disorders of inflammatory etiology. The abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone involved in hydric-stress responses. This compound is not only found in plants but also in other organisms, including mammals. In rodents, ABA can play a beneficial role in the regulation of peripheral immune response and insulin action. Thus, we hypothesized that chronic ABA administration might exert a protective effect in a model of neuroinflammation induced by high-fat diet (HFD). Methods: Male Wistar rats were fed with standard diet or HFD with or without ABA in the drinking water for 12 weeks. Glucose tolerance test and behavioral paradigms were performed to evaluate the peripheral and central effects of treatments. One-Way ANOVA was performed analyzed statistical differences between groups. Results: The HFD induced insulin resistance peripherally and increased the levels of proinflammatory markers in in the brain. We observed that ABA restored glucose tolerance in HFD-fed rats, as expected.

Received: 9 January 2019; Accepted: 2 February 2019; Published: 4 February 2019 Abstract: During their lifetime, plants encounter numerous biotic and abiotic stresses with diverse modes of attack. Phytohormones, including salicylic acid (SA), ethylene (ET), jasmonate (JA), abscisic acid (ABA), auxin (AUX), brassinosteroid (BR), gibberellic acid (GA), cytokinin (CK) and the recently identified strigolactones (SLs), orchestrate effective defense responses by activating defense gene expression. Genetic analysis of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana has advanced our understanding of the function of these hormones. The SA- and ET/JA-mediated signaling pathways were thought to be the backbone of plant immune responses against biotic invaders, whereas ABA, auxin, BR, GA, CK and SL were considered to be involved in the plant immune response through modulating the SA-ET/JA signaling pathways.

    RESEARCH ENDOGENOUS QUANTIFICATION OF ABSCISIC ACID AND INDOLE-3- ACETIC ACID IN SOMATIC AND ZIGOTIC EMBRYOS OF Nothofagus alpina (Poepp. & Endl.) Oerst. Pricila Cartes Riquelme1*, Darcy Ríos Leal1, Kátia Sáez Carrillo2, Matilde Uribe Moraga1, Sofía Valenzuela Aguilar1, Stephen Joseph Bolus3, and Manuel Sánchez Olate1 Abscisic acid (ABA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) participate in the propagation of plants by somatic embryogenesis, causing polar structural differentiation of the embryo. The goal of the assay was to compare endogenous levels of ABA and IAA between somatic embryos (SE) and zygotic embryos (ZE) of Nothofagus alpina (Poepp. & Endl.) Oerst. In this study, a somatic embryo maturation assay involving the addition of varying concentrations of exogenous ABA was performed on cotyledonary-stage of N. alpina. Furthermore, the endogenous levels of ABA and IAA were quantified in the immature ZE, the mature ZE, and the embryonic axis of a mature embryo of N. alpina. The current study utilized high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for quantification. The maturation treatments performed did not present significant differences in the endogenous ABA levels in SE. However, significant differences did exist in levels of ABA and IAA between SE submitted to the different maturation treatments and mature ZE of N. alpina. The application of exogenous ABA to the culture medium increased endogenous ABA levels, therefore, increasing the number of germinated somatic embryos. Thus, the plant conversion process was also successfully completed in somatic embryos of N. alpina. Key words: Somatic embryogenesis, maturation, germination, HPLC. othofagus alpina (Poepp. & Endl.)

The formation of this β-carotene– is cleavage products of C40 isoprenoid derived volatile in photosynthetic tissues is 1 pigments, named carotenoids, catalyzed by initiated by a singlet oxygen O2 attack, enzyme carotenoid oxygenase, produced which takes place in the photosystem II, absolutely by plants and microorganisms. particularly in the presence of high light Apocarotenoids show vital roles in several stress, while in citrus fruits, it is catalyzed biological activities (e.g., plant hormones). by a CCD (CCD4b) that cleaves β-carotene, Various carotenoids and apocarotenoids have β-cryptoxanthin, and zeaxanthin. Although great economic significance in feed, cosmetics, some CCDs display a quite relaxed substrate food supplements, pharmaceutical industries and and site (double bond) specificity , cleavage also possess high commercial values Key Words: Carotenoids, Apocarotenoids, reactions catalyzed by these enzymes Carotenoid oxygenase generally take place at definite double bond(s) in defined carotenoid/apocarotenoid INTRODUCTION substrate(s).
