text: Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) networks are the pathways and signaling of MAPK, which is a protein kinase that consists of amino acids serine and threonine. MAPK pathways have both a positive and negative regulation in plants. A positive regulation of MAPK networks is to help in assisting with stresses from the environment. A negative regulation of MAPK networks is pertaining to a high quantity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the plant.
