Research progress of ferredoxin in plants stress responses
Ferredoxins are widely found in animals,plants and bacteria,which can transfer electrons from donor molecules to recipient molecules,thus their functions in energy generation,biosynthesis and redox signal transduction processes can be realized,meanwhile ferredoxins also play roles in the fatty acid metabolism,nitrate assimilation,sulfate assimilation and many other vital activities.In term of plant stress responses,ferredoxins have the impact on the infection process of plants against pathogens,which can change the resistance of plants to viruses and bacteria and increase the ability of plants to cope with various stresses by participating the removal of reactive oxygen species.It is of great significance to study ferredoxins for plants.Summarized the research results of structure,classification,physiological and biochemical functions of ferredoxins in plants,and empasized on elucidating the roles in plant stress response progresses,provided a theoretical basis for further studies of ferredoxin functions in plants.
