Hyperosmotic stress-induced microtubule disassembly in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Land plants respond to drought and salinity by employing multitude of sophisticated mechanisms with physiological and developmental consequences. Abscisic acid-mediated signaling pathways have evolved as land plant ancestors explored their habitats toward terrestrial dry area, and now play major roles in hyperosmotic stress responses in flowering plants. Green algae living in fresh water habitat do not possess abscisic acid signaling pathways but need to cope with increasing salt concentrations or high osmolarity when challenged with adverse aquatic environment. Hyperosmotic stress responses in green algae are largely unexplored.

Results

In this study, we characterized hyperosmotic stress-induced cytoskeletal responses in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a fresh water g
