▪ Abstract Molecular studies of drought stress in plants use a variety of strategies and include
different species subjected to a wide range of water deficits. Initial research has by necessity …

Plant cell walls are amazingly complex amalgams of carbohydrates, proteins, lignin, water,
and incrusting substances such as cutin, suberin, and certain inorganic compounds that vary …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

In an attempt to improve stress tolerance of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) plants, an
expression vector containing an Arabidopsis C-repeat/dehydration responsive element …

A DNA cassette containing an Arabidopsis C repeat/dehydration-responsive element
binding factor 1 (CBF1) cDNA and a nos terminator, driven by a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S …

Abstract The peptide snakin-2 (StSN2) has been isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum
cv Jaerla) tubers and found to be active (EC50= 1–20 μm) against fungal and bacterial plant …

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are involved in tolerance to drought, cold and
high salinity in many different organisms. In this report, a LEA protein producing full-length …

We have isolated a rab-related (responsive to AB A) gene, rab18 from Arabidopsis thaliana.
The gene encodes a hydrophilic, glycine-rich protein (18.5 kDa), which contains the …

Abscisic acid (ABA) and jasmonates have been implicated in responses to water deficit and
wounding. We compared the molecular and physiological effects of jasmonic acid (JA)(< or …

Twelve years ago a set of glycine-rich proteins (GRP) of plants were characterized and since
then a wealth of new GRPs have been identified. The highly specific but diverse expression …
