Synthetic Oxygen-related molecular Systems in plants
Aerobic organisms developed systems to measure cellular oxygen levels and activAerobic organisms developed systems to measure cellular oxygen levels and activate adaptive responses in case hypoxia occurs. This condition can be caused by sudden environmental changes or associated with developmental programmes. Recent reports have revealed that complex eukaryotes, such as plants and animals, converged towards the recruitment of dioxygenase enzymes to regulate gene targets at the transcriptional level. However, while the sensing strategy is the same, the molecular identity of the components involved is different. The similarities and differences between animal and plant hypoxia machineries can…
