Research progress on AWPM-19 protein in plant seed dormancy and stress responses
As an important component of the cell membrane,plant plasma membrane proteins are important mediators for material exchange and information communication between cells and the environment,participate in multiple physiological processes including plant growth and development,as well as stress responses.AWPM-19 protein(ABA induced wheat plasma membrane polypeptide-19 protein)is a wheat plasma membrane peptide-19 protein induced by abscisic acid,which is highly hydrophobic and contains four transmembrane structures.The plant AWPM-19 proteins are involved in seed dormancy regulation,as well as abiotic stress responses including low temperature and abscisic acid.For comprehensively understanding the known characteristics and functions of the plant AWPM-19 protein,preparing for exploring the mechanisms of the AWPM-19 protein in different physiological processes of plants,summarized the research progresses on the structural characteristics of AWPM-19 protein,and its roles in seed dormancy and plant stress responses,in order to provide theoretical basis for further studying plant AWPM-19 proteins.
