Analysis of global gene expression profile of rice in response to methylglyoxal indicates its possible role as a stress signal molecule

Methylglyoxal (MG) is a toxic metabolite produced primarily as a byproduct of glycolysis. Being a potent glycating agent, it can readily bind macromolecules like DNA, RNA or proteins, modulating their expression and activity. In plants, despite the known inhibitory effects of MG on growth and develo...
