Abstract:

F-box protein exists widely and plays an important role in plants. The F-box protein participates in the UPP(ubiquitin-proteasome pathway)to degrade proteins in organisms through synthesizing with Skp1,Cullin,Rbx1 to form Skp-Cullin-F-box(SCF)protein complex. The F-box protein is involved in the response process of plants to abiotic stress such as drought,salt,temperature and heavy metals,as well as biotic stress caused by pathogens and pests. This paper mainly reviewed the structure,action pathway,the latest progress and existing issues of F-box protein in the field of plant stress response,so as to provide reference for further study on the mechanism of F-box protein enhancing plant stress resistance.

Key words: F-box protein, stress resistance, SCF protein complex, ubiquitin-protease pathway
