Abstract

Stress tolerance in plants is a coordinated action of multiple stress response genes that also cross talk with other components of the stress signal transduction pathways. The expression and regulation of stress-induced genes are largely regulated by specific transcription factors, families of which have been reported in several plant species, such as Arabidopsis, rice and Populus. In sorghum, the majority of such factors remain unexplored. We used 2DE refined with MALDI-TOF techniques to analyze drought stress-induced proteins in sorghum. A total of 176 transcription factors from the MYB, AUX_ARF, bZIP, AP2 and WRKY families of drought-induced proteins were identified. We developed a method based on semantic similarity of gene ontology terms (GO terms) to identify the transcription factors. A threshold value (≥ 90%) was applied to retrieve total 1,493 transcription factors with high semantic similarity from selected plant species. It could be concluded that the identified transcription factors regulate their target proteins with endogenous signals and environmental cues, such as light, temperature and drought stress. The regulatory network and cis-acting elements of the identified transcription factors in distinct families are involved in responsiveness to auxin, abscisic acid, defense, stress and light. These responses may be highly important in the modulation of plant growth and development.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 July 2015.
All research outputs
#18,385,510
of 22,772,779 outputs
Outputs from Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters
#232
of 474 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#255,672
of 352,917 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters
#14
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,772,779 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 474 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 352,917 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
