Abstract

Stress responses are largely conserved in eukaryotic cells, but with plants having certain distinctive reactions to specific stresses, e.g. the induction of pathogenesis-related proteins. General responses to stress involve signaling stress detection via the redox system, checkpoints arresting the cell cycle and DNA repair processes stimulated in response to DNA damage. Specific responses to stress include the induction of protective metabolites, such as betaines, and protective proteins, for example, heat shock proteins. Chemical signals, e.g. reactive oxygen species, Ca2+ and plant hormones, acting through signal transduction cascades activate genomic re-programming. Genome plasticity in plants allows adaptation to environmental conditions and includes genomic or epigenetic changes (histone acetylation, methylation, chromatin remodeling etc.) and possibly directed mutation. In plants, recent research has indicated that intricate stress response mechanisms and `cross talk' between stress responses exist. Here, changes in the plant genome and in genomic expression in development and as a response to environmental stress are reviewed as background to a discussion of the basis of aberrant genomic expression in vitro. Markers are discussed which may be used to characterize the stress exposure of in vitro tissues.
