Network Modules Driving Plant Stress Response, Tolerance and Adaptation: A case study using Abscisic acid Induced Protein-protein Interactome of Arabidopsis thaliana

AO_SCPLOWBSTRACTC_SCPLOWUnderstanding key protein-protein interaction network mediated by genes responsive to biotic and abiotic stress could help to understand the functional modules and network topologies driven genes responsive to stresses. It still remains to be an open question whether distinct protein-protein interaction networks have functional or regulatory role in mediating abiotic or biotic stress response in plants. To address this question we compiled abscisic acid responsive genes from Stress-responsive TranscrIption Factor DataBase (version 2; STIFDB2); derived protein-protein interaction network mediated by the genes from STRING database and performed biological network analys
