We recently showed that—in Arabidopsis thaliana suspension cells—phosphoinositide dependent-phospholipase C (PI-PLC) and diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) negatively regulated the basal expression of most DREB2 genes. DREB2 genes encode transcription factors that bind to Drought Responsive Elements (DRE). Those elements are also bound by DREB1 factors. While DREB2 factors are mostly involved in drought and heat responses, DREB1s are induced in the response to chilling. We here show that the pharmacological inhibition of PI-PLC or DGK leads to the basal induction of DREB1 genes. However, the induction is much less marked for the DREB1 genes than that of DREB2A, a member of the DREB2 family. This illustrates that DREB1 and DREB2 genes, while having the same targets, are not submitted to the same transcription regulation, and that lipid signaling might in part explain these differences in the regulation of the DREB genes.

Background: Drought is one of main critical factors that limits sugarcane productivity and juice quality in tropical regions. The unprecedented changes in climate such as monsoon failure, increase in temperature and other factors warrant the need for development of stress tolerant cultivars to sustain sugar production. Plant Nuclear factor (NF-Y) is one of the major classes of transcription factors that have a major role in plant development and abiotic stress response.

Drought poses a significant challenge to plant growth and productivity, particularly in arid regions like northern Kazakhstan. Dehydration-responsive element-binding (DREB) transcription factors play an important role in plant response to drought and other abiotic stresses. In , the DREB subfamily consists of six groups, designated DREB1 to DREB6.

Introduction: The molecular and physiological mechanisms activated in plants during drought stress tolerance are regulated by several key genes with both metabolic and regulatory roles. Studies focusing on crop gene expression following plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) inoculation may help understand which bioinoculant is closely related to the induction of abiotic stress responses.
Methods: Here, we performed a meta-analysis following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to summarise information regarding plant-PGPR interactions, focusing on the regulation of nine genes involved in plant drought stress response.
