Abstract:

The plant mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathwaqys transduce a large variety of external signals, leading to a wide range of cellular responses, including growth, differentiation, stress reactions. In this review, we emphasized recent findings on the MAPK involvement related to stress tolerance in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum MAPK, LeMAPK). According to the conservation of the MAPK sequences in different plants, we blasted the candidate LeMAPKs with the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) MAPK (AtMAPK, AtMPK) sequences and got 18 LeMAPKs with two new sequences. The sequences of LeMAPKs and AtMAPKs were alignmented. In addition, the potential LeMAPKs were primarily documented by informatic analysis, which were divided into five groups based on the phylogenetic analysis.
