Molecular evolution and interaction of ROS with ion transport for plant abiotic stresses

Abstract

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) serve as crucial signaling molecules in plants, enabling rapid responses to environmental stresses such as abiotic factors. ROS production primarily stems from the activation of enzymes such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases and peroxidases, as well as disruptions in the respiratory and photosynthetic electron transport chains. This oxidative stress triggers signaling pathways that involve in calcium ion (Ca²⁺) influx across cell membranes, altering ionic conductance. ROS encompass hydroxyl radicals (OH·) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), which activate hyperpolarization-activated Ca²⁺ channels and influence ion transport dynamics. Our review focuses on the mechanisms driving ROS generation and ion transport during plant responses to abiotic stress. We explore the regulation, characteristics, and potential structures of ROS-activated ion channels in plants. Specifically, we examine the molecular responses and evolutionary adaptations of Shaker-type K⁺ channels (AKT/KAT/GORK/SKOR) under stress conditions. Comparative genetic analyses highlight the conservation of these channels and other ROS-regulated proteins (e.g., MDHAR, POX, and RBOH), suggesting their essential roles in plant to adapt to diverse stresses. This study underscores the significance of ROS-regulated proteins in plant stress responses, advocating for further research to elucidate their fundamental roles.
