title: Mitogen-activated protein kinases and wound stress.
abstract: One of the most severe environmental stresses that plants encounter during their life cycle is wounding. Plants respond to wound stress by activating a set of genes that encode proteins involved in healing injured tissues. In recent years, mitogen-activated protein kinases have been implicated to be key signal molecules in the initial signal transduction pathways that mediate this stress to expression of genes.
