Proline is a proteogenic amino acid and accumulates both under stress and non-stress
conditions as a beneficial solute in plants. Recent discoveries point out that proline plays an …

When the life cycle of plants is influenced by various environmental signals, the mechanical
properties of the cell wall are greatly changed. These signals also modify the levels and …

The present research was carried out to study effects of animal manure and superabsorbent
polymer on leaf relative water content, cell membrane stability and leaf chlorophyll content …

The apoplast of plant cells is a dynamic compartment involved in many processes, including
maintenance of tissue shape, development, nutrition, signalling, detoxification and defence …

Environmental stresses present major challenges in our quest to achieve sustainable food
production. The reactions of plants to environmental stresses are complex and involve many …

Water availability and drought limit crop yields worldwide. The responses of plants to
drought vary greatly depending on species and stress severity. These responses include …

Six cDNA clones from Phaseolus vulgaris, whose expression is induced by water deficit and
ABA treatment (rsP cDNAs) were identified and characterized. The sequence analyses of …

The extraprotoplastic matrix of plant cells including the cell wall is here defined as apoplast.
The most obvious functions associated with the apoplast are (1) establishment and …

Abiotic stresses are major threats influencing crop growth and production globally. Abiotic
stresses can cause several cellular dysfunctions, and some of them are beneficial and …

Shaggy-like protein kinase (SK) plays important roles in the plant growth development,
signal transduction, abiotic stress and biotic stress and substance metabolism regulation …
