Abstract

Signal pathways accountable for the sensing and transduction of the metal stress signal in the cell, eventually leads to the induction of signaling molecules especially transcription factors and enzymes, followed by the expression of genes involved in the neutralization of metal stress. In order to respond to stress signals, plant cells are equipped to perceive these signals and switch them into appropriate responses, which in turn confer on plants the competence to tolerate, avoid or escape unfavorable conditions. Generally, Plant signaling pathways can be classified on the bases of their response to internal and external stimuli. Tolerance to unfavorable conditions entails harmonization of complex physiological, biochemical and molecular processes such as changes in global gene expression, protein modification and metabolite compositions. The aim of this chapter is to present: (1) the nature of chemicals which are produced following perception of metal stress and carry the message in the cell to respond either directly or indirectly by regulating the expression of genes leading to altered functions or enhance the capacity of the already existing defense metabolites; (2) to dissect the pathways in order to find the function of each component in metal stress signal. Thus, stress signaling is a vital spot in order to boost crops yield under sub-optimal conditions.
