VDAC2 involvement in the stress response pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana
The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is the major transport protein in the outer membrane of mitochondria, and is involved in the formation of a permeable transition pore and metabolite transport. In this study, we explored the role of Arabidopsis thaliana VDAC2 (AtVDAC2) in the signal transduction pathway in Arabidopsis under salt stress. We investigated the germination rates of AtVDAC2 transgenic lines under salicylic acid (SA) treatment, and found that AtVDAC2 can affect the sensitivity of Arabidopsis to SA.
