COLUMN I
|
COLUMN II |
A) Physical sensing
|
i) usually results from the
detection of by-products that accumulate in cells due to the uncoupling of
enzymatic or electron transfer reactions, such as the accumulation of ROS
during stress caused by too much light.
|
B) Biophysical sensing
|
ii) often involves the presence of
specialized proteins that have evolved to sense a particular stress; for
example, calcium channels that can sense changes in temperature and alter
Ca2+ homeostasis.
|
C) Metabolic sensing
|
iii) refers to modifications of
DNA or RNA structure that do not alter genetic sequences, such as the changes
in chromatin that occur during temperature stress.
|
D) Biochemical sensing
|
iv) refers to the mechanical
effects of stress on the plant or cell structure, for example, the
contraction of the plasma membrane from the cell wall during drought stress.
|
E) Epigenetic sensing
|
v) might involve changes in
protein structure or enzymatic activity, such as the inhibition of different
enzymes during heat stress.

There are the five groups of late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins found in plants
Match the following groups of LEA protein with its functional information;
Group
(family name) |
Functional information |
I) Group 1 (D-19 family) |
a) It is an
abundant protein in cotton embryos, Each putative dimer of this group may
bind as many as ten inorganic phosphates and their counterions |
II) Group 2 (D-11 family) |
b) Possibly functions in ion
sequestration to protect cytosolic metabolism When LE25 is expressed in
yeast, it confers salt and freezing tolerance |
III) Group 3 (D-7 family) |
c) In tomato, a
gene encoding a similar protein is expressed in response to nematode feeding |
IV) Group 4 (D-95 family) |
d) Contains more
water of hydration than typical globular proteins Overexpression confers
water deficit tolerance on yeast cells |
V) Group 5 (D-113 family) |
e) Often
localized to the cytoplasm or nucleus More acidic members of the family are
associated with the plasma membrane May act to stabilize macromolecules at
low water potential |
