Abstract

Drought stress is one of the important factors affecting crop productivity. Plants have specific mechanisms for drought tolerance and understanding of these mechanisms will contribute to our understanding of drought resistance. In this paper we analyze the post translational modification patterns (sumoylation, nitration, S-nitrosylation and palmitoylation) in drought stress in selected plants. We found that nitration and palmitoylation may play an important role in modification of large number of proteins associated with drought stress in plants.
