可变剪接在植物响应胁迫中的作用

Function of alternative splicing in plant response to biotic and abiotic stress

可变剪接(alternative splicing,AS)是一种生物体基因转录调控的新方式,在植物中的许多基因均被发现存在,其在植物生长发育中的作用已有总结。本文进一步总结了AS在植物响应生物和非生物逆境中的作用及其调节机制,旨在加深可变剪接参与植物重要生命过程的认识,并展望了相关研究未来的研究方向。

Alternative splicing(AS)is a ways for regulation of gene transcription in eukaryotes.Recently,many genes in plants have been discovered associated with AS and the roles of AS in plant growth have been reviewed.In this review,we further focused on the function of AS responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.The regulatory mechanisms of AS have also been preliminarily summarized.This review would be helpful to understand the function of AS in plants and a brief outlook for future study also be provided in the end.
