The Two-Component System: Transducing Environmental and Hormonal Signals

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sensory Biology of Plants

Abstract

In response to external stimuli, protein phosphorylation plays a significant role in signal transduction which regulates growth and development in plants. Histidine and aspartate phosphorylation (multistep phosphorelay) operating in two-component system (TCS) is one of the signalling mechanisms which regulate a plethora of processes in plants. The two-component system members in plants have been found to function in the perception of phytohormones such as cytokinins and ethylene as well as subsequent downstream signalling. In addition, the TCS members have also been shown to regulate the responses to various environmental stresses. The TCS is at the heart of the crosstalk between development and environmental stress responses. In this chapter, we describe the TCS and the role of its various members in plants towards growth and controlling development as influenced by internal (hormones) and external (environmental stress) signals.
