Significance of naturally occurring intracellular polyamines (PAs), such as spermine,
spermidine, and putrescine, in relation to the mechanism and adaptation to combat abiotic …

Polyamines (PAs) are ubiquitous biogenic amines that have been implicated in diverse
cellular functions in widely distributed organisms. In plants, mutant and transgenic plants …

The present review highlights some recent advances regarding the function of polyamines in
the environmental stress tolerance of plants. When exposed to adverse environmental …

To clarify the involvement of the arginine decarboxylase (ADC) pathway in the salt stress
response, the polyamine titre, putrescine biosynthetic gene expression, and enzyme …

In Arabidopsis, a model genus missing a functional ornithine decarboxylase pathway, most
of the key genes involved in polyamine biosynthesis are duplicated. This gene redundancy …
