Abstract |
Polyamines play important roles in growth, development, and adaptive responses to various stresses. In the past two decades, progress in plant polyamine research has accelerated, and the key molecules and components involved in many biological events have been identified. Recently, polyamine sensors used to detect polyamine-enriched foods and polyamines derived from degrading flesh were identified in fly and zebrafish, respectively. Work has begun to identify such molecules in plants as well. Here, we summarize the current knowledge about polyamines in plants. Furthermore, we discuss the roles of key molecules, such as calcium ions, reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide, γ-aminobutyric acid, polyamine transporters, and the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade, from the viewpoint of polyamine action. |
