Description Rheum grows luxuriantly in a niche of low
temperature (LT) at high altitudes in Himalayan belt. The
plant is expected to harbor novel genes particularly for tolerance
to LT. Using differential display, two cDNAs
RaMPK1 and RaMPK2, showing homology to mitogenactivated
protein kinases (MAPKs) were isolated. As compared
to RaMPK1, RaMPK2 exhibited strong up-regulation
in response to LT. RaMPK1 was novel in terms of possessing
a small glutamine and proline rich region at the
N-terminal end. Secondly, though RaMPK1 showed
homology with salicylic acid (SA) responsive MAPKs, the
gene was down-regulated by SA but activated by jasmonate
(JA). Abscisic acid (ABA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG)
also down-regulated RaMPK1. RaMPK2 showed downregulation
within 5 min of exposure to JA and SA treatments,
followed by gradual increase in expression. Expression
of RaMPK2 was wavy in response to ABA and PEG
treatment. Results are discussed in light of the novelty of
these MAPKs.
