Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are important signal transducing enzymes that connects diverse receptors/sensors to a wide range of cellular responses in mammals, yeasts and plants. In recent years, a large number of different components of plant MAPK cascades were isolated. Molecular and biochemical studies have revealed that plant MAPKs play important role in the response to a broad variety of biotic and abiotic stresses, including wounding, pathogen infection, temperature, drought, salinity, but also in the signaling of plant hormones and the cell division. This review briefly summaries the recent research results about the cross-talk and complexity of MAP kinase cascades in plant obtained from functional analyses.
丝裂原活化蛋白激酶（MAPKs）是重要的信号转导酶，在哺乳动物、酵母和植物中，它将多种受体/传感器与广泛的细胞反应联系起来。近年来，植物MAPK级联反应的大量不同组分被分离出来。分子和生化研究表明，植物MAPKs在应对多种生物和非生物胁迫（包括创伤、病原体感染、温度、干旱、盐度）中发挥重要作用，同时也参与植物激素信号传导和细胞分裂过程。本综述简要总结了通过功能分析获得的关于植物MAP激酶级联反应的相互作用和复杂性的最新研究成果。
