Autophagy in Plants during Nutrient Starvation, Osmotic and Heat Stresses

Abstract

Autophagy is a prosurvivalpathway controlled by specific autophagy genes (Atgs)fort breaking down and self-digestion ofcases of severe components , particularly when exposed to stressors such as senescence, starvation, and hypoxia.Autophagy in plants contributes to growth, reproductive capacity, metabolic processes, senescence, endosperm and grain development, disease safety and microbial tolerance. Various transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolic networks are related to the autophagic response of plants to extracellular and intracellular stressors. Although research on mammalian autophagy is rapidly growing, greater research are required to understand the functions and importance of plant autophagy.  All through study, I will explain the effects with plant autophagy research, the types, impacts and biological activities of autophagy in response to starvation, osmotic stress and extra temperatures.
