Stress signaling pathway regulates proteins which are critical for reprogramming of metabolic synthesis and gene expression to achieve homeostasis and cellular stability under stress conditions. The understanding of stress signaling mechanism and response will increase the ability to improve plant‘s oralgal resistance to stress. The theoretical part summarizes the current knowledge of biosynthetic pathway and miRNA roles and presents selected model organisms (Chlamydomonas, Arabidopsis). As well, it introduces abiotic stress and seeks links between abiotic factors, secondary metabolites and miRNAs. The experimental part deals with selected abiotic factors [lycorine, UV-C radiation, ZnSe quantum dots (QDs), CO2] and their influence on Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Arabidopsis thaliana. It has been shown that 100 and 250µM ZnSe QDs in the form of foliar feeding caused oxidative stress in the leaves without morphological changes in Arabidopsis thaliana. Additionaly, 250µM concentration inhibited the viability of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a Gram-negative bacterium infecting plants, by 60 %. Furthermore, the regulatory biochemical, molecular and post-transcriptional pathways of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii response to UV-C radiation and lycorine were identified. Further, three specific miRNAs (Cre06.g281600, Cre06.g30900, Cre16.g662600) have been studied in connection with carbon concentrating mechanism (CCM) in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Expression of mentioned miRNAs had a positive correlation with target mRNA and revealed the potential regulatory role of miRNAs during CCM adaprion and possibility to increase the efficiency of photosynthesis. Despite, the role of epigenetics including miRNA interference is still unclear in the unicellular algae.
