| Popis: | Abiotic stress that plants face may impact their growth and limit their productivity. In response to abiotic stress, several endogenous survival mechanisms get activated, including the synthesis of quaternary amines in plants. Acetylcholine (ACh), a well-known quaternary amine, and its components associated with cholinergic signaling are known to contribute to a variety of physiological functions. However, their role under abiotic stress is not well documented. Even after several studies, there is a lack of a comprehensive understanding of how cholinergic components mitigate abiotic stress in plants. Acetylcholine hydrolyzing enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) belongs to the GDSL lipase/acylhydrolase protein family and has been found in several plant species. Several studies have demonstrated that GDSL members are involved in growth, development, and abiotic stress. This review summarizes all the possible mitigating effects of the ACh-AChE system on abiotic stress tolerance and will try to highlight all the progress made so far in this field. |
