Abstract

Plants are frequently subjected to several abiotic environmental stresses under natural conditions causing profound impacts on agricultural yield and quality. Tolerance and acclimation of plants are always related with significant changes in protein, cellular localization, post transcription and post-translational modifications. Protein response pathways as well as pathways unique to a given stress condition shared by plants under different stressed environment are discussed. In a nutshell, this paper provide an overview of several modification, synthesis, degradation and metabolism of protein in plants to cope up and revive again to normal growing conditions against abiotic stress, emphasizing drought, submerged, extreme cold and heat temperatures.
