  • Plant Hsp100 Family with Special Reference to Rice
    Plant HsplO0 family with special reference to rice SNEH LATA SINGLA, ASHWANI PAREEK and ANIL GROVER* Department of Plant Molecular Biology, University of Delhi South Campus, Benito J~arez Road, Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi 110 021, India *Corresponding author (Fax, 91-11-6886427; Emait, [email protected]). Heat shock proteins (Hsps) represent a group of specific proteins which are synthesized primarily in response to heat shock in almost all biological systems. Members of Hspl00 family have been directly implicated in induction of thermotolerance in microbial and animal cells. Yeast cells harbouring defective hspl04 gene do not show thermoto]erance under conditions in which the normal cells do. Several plant species have been shown to synthesize Hsps in the range of 100 kDa. Rice Hspl04 (OsHspl04) is rapidly and predominantly accumulated in heat-shocked cells. Western blotting anaIysis show that anti rice Hspt04 antibodies (generated against purified Hspl04 protein from cultivated rice Oryza sativa L.) cross-react with the same-sized high temperature inducible protein in 15 different wild rices. It was further found that anti rice Hspl04 antibodies also cross-react with a major high temperature regulated protein of Escherichia coll. We have previously shown that a 110 kDa stress regulated protein in rice (OsHspll0) is immunologicalIy related to yeast Hspl04 protein. In this paper, we present a comparative account of characteristics of the OsHspl04 and OsHspI10 proteins. l. Introduction ture response of rice in molecular terms (Khush and Toenniessen 1991).

Page 1/29 Abstract Drought and salinity are major environmental stresses which affect crop productivity and therefore are major hindrance in feeding growing population world-wide. Calcium (Ca2+) signalling plays a crucial role during the plant's response to these stress stimuli. Calmodulin (CaM), a crucial Ca2+sensor, is involved in transducing the signal downstream in various physiological, developmental and stress responses by modulating a plethora of target proteins. The role of CaM has been well established in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana for regulating various developmental processes, stress signalling and ion transport.

In ihren Forschungsberichten geben die Fachbereiche einen Überblick über die Forschungsaktivitäten des vergangenen Jahres 2016, über abgeschlossene Dissertations- und Habilitationsverfahren, über Publikationen, Auszeichnungen und Preise sowie nationale wie internationale Projekte, kurzum: über alles, was Forschung an der WWU auszeichnet. Dabei decken diese Aktivitäten ein breites Spektrum an Themen und Inhalten ab. So setzt sich das innovative Graduiertenkolleg EvoPAD („Evolutionary Processes in Adaptation and Disease”) aus geistes- und naturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive damit auseinander, wie und warum Krankheiten entstehen und welche Rolle evolutionäre Anpassungen dabei spielen. Während der SFB TRR 170 hingegen in höheren Sphären schwebt und unter anderem die Entwicklung der Erde und ihres Mondes ergründet, setzen sich gleich mehrere Projekte mit dem Thema der Digitalen Gesellschaft auseinander, beispielhaft auch aus genderspezifischer Sichtweise (z.B. EQUAL-IST oder Digital Me). Dies sind aber nur einige wenige Beispiele - die in diesem Bericht zusammengetragenen Daten zeigen die Vielfältigkeit aller Forschungsaktivitäten, die die WWU nicht nur bundesweit, sondern international sichtbar macht.

It essentially comprises of three major Edited by: Girdhar Kumar Pandey, components, sensory histidine kinase proteins (HKs), histidine phosphotransfer proteins Delhi University, India (Hpts), and response regulator proteins (RRs). The members of the TCS family have Reviewed by: already been identified in Arabidopsis and rice but the knowledge about their functional Mukesh Jain, indulgence during various abiotic stress conditions remains meager. Current study is National Institute of Plant Genome Research, India an attempt to carry out comprehensive analysis of the expression of TCS members in Om Parkash Dhankher, response to various abiotic stress conditions and in various plant tissues in Arabidopsis University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA and rice using MPSS and publicly available microarray data. The analysis suggests that *Correspondence: despite having almost similar number of genes, rice expresses higher number of TCS Ashwani Pareek, members during various abiotic stress conditions than Arabidopsis.
