The use of seaweed-based bioproducts has been gaining momentum in crop production
systems owing to their unique bioactive components and effects. They have phytostimulatory …

Betaine is known as trimethylglycine and is widely distributed in animals, plants, and
microorganisms. Betaine is known to function physiologically as an important …

Background In response to various environmental stresses, many plant species synthesize L-
proline in the cytosol and accumulates in the chloroplasts. L-Proline accumulation in plants …

When exposed to stressful conditions, plants accumulate an array of metabolites, particularly
amino acids. Amino acids have traditionally been considered as precursors to and …

Chickpea is one of the most economically important food legumes, and a significant source
of proteins. It is cultivated in more than 50 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia …

Environmental stresses are increasing over time adversely affecting crop productivity. To
face these stresses, plants adopt endogenous mechanisms, but they are not enough in most …

Water deficit and salinity, especially under high light intensity or in combination with other
stresses, disrupt photosynthesis and increase photorespiration, altering the normal …

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 …

In the last decade, our understanding of the processes underlying plant response to drought,
at the molecular and whole-plant levels, has rapidly progressed. Here, we review that …

Tolerance to high soil [Na+] involves processes in many different parts of the plant, and is
manifested in a wide range of specializations at disparate levels of organization, such as …
