岁末,还能学点新东西也是件快事。我对这个词感兴趣“Retrograde Signaling”,很简单的道理我搞不清楚它是什么东西。我闺女对很多东西也感到好奇,我和她的区别在什么地方?我有能力比较快的弄清楚这是什么意思。Signaling from the chloroplast and mitochondria to the nucleus, termed retrograde signaling。我把它译为逆向信号,也就是从叶绿体和线粒体传输到细胞核的信号。基本功能:“regulates the expression of nuclear genes encoding organellar proteins and other cellular proteins to orchestrate organelle and cell development and metabolism.”调节这几类和基因的表达:1 编码细胞器的蛋白 2 (不好翻省略) 3 细胞发育和代谢。意义:It is a critical component of plant response to abiotic stresses, such as high light and drought stress。植物对非生物逆境,如高光和干旱压力,的应急反应的一个关键部分。
这篇是关键文章
Evidence for a SAL1-PAP Chloroplast Retrograde Pathway That Functions in Drought and High Light Signaling in Arabidopsis
