Abstract

Several reports have implicated peroxisomes in the response of plants to various stresses, however these have always relied on a correlation between treatments and changes in peroxisome number or enzyme activities. We have the first evidence that transcription of a gene required for peroxisome biogenesis is directly regulated by a stress signal. This proposal seeks to identify the stresses which trigger peroxisome biogenesis, investigate that signal transduction pathways and cis acting DNA elements which regulate these responses and obtain mutants defective in the response of peroxisome biogenesis to stress. (Joint with grant 24/P13838.)
