AI Article Synopsis
- The MAPK cascade is an important signaling system in plants that converts external signals into internal responses, playing a vital role in stress management.
- Recent studies have identified numerous MAPKs in horticultural plants like tomato and apple through whole-genome sequencing and highlighted their significance in responding to both abiotic stresses (like drought and heat) and biotic stresses (like pathogens).
- The review summarizes the structure of MAPK cascades in these plants and discusses current research trends, aiming to enhance understanding of how these cascades function in horticulture.
Article Abstract
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade is a highly conserved signaling transduction module that transduces extracellular stimuli into intracellular responses in plants. Early studies of plant MAPKs focused on their functions in model plants. Based on the results of whole-genome sequencing, many MAPKs have been identified in horticultural plants, such as tomato and apple. Recent studies revealed that the MAPK cascade also plays crucial roles in the biotic and abiotic stress responses of horticultural plants. In this review, we summarize the composition and classification of MAPK cascades in horticultural plants and recent research on this cascade in responses to abiotic stresses (such as drought, extreme temperature and high salinity) and biotic stresses (such as pathogen infection). In addition, we discuss the most advanced research themes related to plant MAPK cascades, thus facilitating research on MAPK cascade functions in horticultural plants.
