Several halophytes and a few crop plants, including Poaceae, synthesize and accumulate
glycine betaine (GB) in response to environmental constraints. GB plays an important role in …

▪ Abstract Plant responses to salinity stress are reviewed with emphasis on molecular
mechanisms of signal transduction and on the physiological consequences of altered gene …

The impact of biochar and chitosan on barley plants under drought stress conditions was
investigated during two field experiments. Our results confirmed that drought stress …

Glycine betaine (GB) and proline are two major organic osmolytes that accumulate in a
variety of plant species in response to environmental stresses such as drought, salinity …

Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, chemical toxicity and
oxidative stress are serious threats to agriculture and the natural status of the environment …

World population is increasing at an alarming rate and is expected to reach about six billion
by the end of year 2050. On the other hand food productivity is decreasing due to the effect …

Heat stress has been defined as the rise of temperature for a period of time higher than a
threshold level, thereby permanently affecting the plant growth and development. Day or …

Despite a wealth of published research on salinity tolerance of plants, neither the metabolic
sites at which salt stress damages plants nor the adaptive mechanisms utilized by plants to …

Agricultural productivity worldwide is subject to increasing environmental constraints,
particularly to drought and salinity due to their high magnitude of impact and wide …

Proline is thought to play a cardinal role as an osmoregulatory solute in plants subjected to
hyperosmotic stresses, primarily drought and soil salinity. Indeed, the accumulation of this …
