...as higher levels of salicylic acid (SA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are related with stomatal movement. The specific function of MPK4 in guard cells is unknown. In order to understand MPK4 functions in guard cells, it is essential to investigate MPK4-associated protein complex. Here we focus on identification of guard cell specific MPK4 complex using affinity purification following by mass spectrometry (AP-MS). Potential substrates were selected and validated with yeast two hybrid (Y2H).
ORGANISM(S): Arabidopsis Thaliana (mouse-ear Cress)
