MAPK Enzymes: a ROS Activated Signaling Sensors Involved in Modulating Heat Stress Response, Tolerance and Grain Stability of Wheat under Heat Stress.

ABSTRACT: Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade is highly conserved across the species triggering the self-adjustment of the cells by transmitting the external signals to the nucleus. The cascade consists of MAPK kinase kinases (MAPKKKs), MAPK kinases (MAPKKs) and MAPKs. These kinases are functionally interrelated through activation by sequential phosphorylation. MAPK cascade is involved in modulating the tolerance and regulating the growth and developmental processes in plants through transcriptional programming. The cascade has been well characterized in Arabidopsis, Tobacco and rice, but limited information is available in wheat due to complexity of genome. MAPK-based sensors have been reported to be highly specific for the external or intracellular stimuli activating specific
