Abiotic Stress Signaling in Wheat Crop

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Wheat Production in Changing Environments

Abstract

Plants have developed different mechanisms to overcome abiotic stresses. These responses induce change in gene expression, regulation of protein amount, alteration of cellular metabolism, and change in ions homeostasis. Cell signaling depends on the sucrose non-fermenting 1-related protein kinase (SnRK) family under environmental and hormonal stresses. Plant SnRKs are key sensors of cellular energy status. Phytohormones play key roles during germination, growth, development, and flowering and coordinate various signal transduction pathways in plants during environmental stresses. Here, we review recent advances in elucidating the signaling pathways for abiotic stresses. We will also focus on how plant SnRK may be related to mechanisms of gene expression, metabolism, physiology, growth, and development in wheat. Finally, the cross talk between signal transduction pathways involving phytohormone is highlighted with a focus on the response of wheat to abiotic stresses.
