Microarray Analysis for Studying the Abiotic Stress Responses in Plants

TLDR
This review highlights the application of the microarray analysis to the understanding of the plant abiotic stress responses and tolerance and genetic engineering of the stress-inducible genes has become one of the promising strategies for the molecular breeding of the stressed plants.
Abstract
Plants respond and adapt to drought, high-salinity and cold stresses in order to survive. Molecular and genomic studies have shown that many genes with various functions are induced by drought, high-salinity and cold stresses, and that the various signaling factors including transcription factors are involved in the stress responses. The development of microarray-based expression profiling methods has allowed significant progress in the characterization of the plant stress response. Genetic engineering of the stress-inducible genes has become one of the promising strategies for the molecular breeding of the stress-tolerant plants. In this review, we highlight the application of the microarray analysis to the understanding of the plant abiotic stress responses and tolerance.

Multilevel regulation and signalling processes associated with adaptation to terminal drought in wild emmer wheat

TL;DR: The potential of wild emmer wheat as a source for candidate genes for improving drought resistance genes is demonstrated, and multilevel regulatory and signalling processes were significantly enriched among the drought-induced transcripts, in particular in the R genotype.

Current Knowledge in Physiological and Genetic Mechanisms Underpinning Tolerances to Alkaline and Saline Subsoil Constraints of Broad Acre Cropping in Dryland Regions

TL;DR: Rengasamy et al. as discussed by the authors found that the simultaneous occurrence of multiple abiotic stresses may result in far greater productivity loss than any single abiotic or biotic factor, such as high and low temperature, water deficit, salinity, sodicity, alkalinity, acidity and ion deficiencies and toxicities.

Salt and drought stress signal transduction in plants

TL;DR: Salt and drought stress signal transduction consists of ionic and osmotic homeostasis signaling pathways, detoxification (i.e., damage control and repair) response pathways, and pathways for growth regulation.

Two transcription factors, DREB1 and DREB2, with an EREBP/AP2 DNA binding domain separate two cellular signal transduction pathways in drought- and low-temperature-responsive gene expression, respectively, in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: Overexpression of the DREB1A cDNA in transgenic Arabidopsis plants not only induced strong expression of the target genes under unstressed conditions but also caused dwarfed phenotypes in the transgenic plants, and revealed freezing and dehydration tolerance.
