nsLTPs Genes Involved in Plant Response to Stress: Research Progress

doi:10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.casb2020-0806

Abstract

Abstract:

Genes encoding non-specific lipid transfer proteins, nsLTPs, play an important role in plant response to biotic and abiotic stress and in plant growth and development. In order to investigate the molecular mechanisms of plant nsLTPs genes in response to biotic and abiotic stress, this paper summarized the structural features and classification of non-specific lipid transfer proteins nsLTPs, analyzed the subcellular localization of nsLTPs, and focused on summarizing the relevant research progress of nsLTPs genes in plant stress response, and proposed the molecular regulatory pathways of nsLTPs genes involved in plant stress in different plant species, which could provide a theoretical basis for improving the regulatory mechanism of nsLTPs genes in plant stress response.

Key words: nsLTPs genes, nsLTPs protein, biotic stress, abiotic stress, molecular regulation mechanism
