Soil salinization has become a major global agricultural issue that threatens sustainable
development goals related to food security, agriculture, resource conservation, and nutrition …

Salinity is one of the most brutal environmental factors limiting the productivity of crop plants
because most of the crop plants are sensitive to salinity caused by high concentrations of …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is highly susceptible to the rhizosphere salinity than other cereals.
High sensitivity has been observed, mainly at vegetative and reproductive stages in rice. It is …

Soil salinity, one of the major abiotic stresses reducing agricultural productivity, affects large
terrestrial areas of the world; the need to produce salt-tolerant crops is evident. Two main …

Abstract Background Heat shock proteins (Hsps) constitute an important component in the
heat shock response of all living systems. Among the various plant Hsps (ie Hsp100, Hsp90 …

Since the dawn of modern biotechnology public and private enterprise have pursued the
development of a new breed of drought tolerant crop products. After more than 20 years of …

Drought and salinity are two major limiting factors in crop productivity. One way to reduce
crop loss caused by drought and salinity is to increase the solute concentration in the …

The mechanism behind enhanced salt tolerance conferred by the overexpression of
glyoxalase pathway enzymes was studied in transgenic vis-à-vis wild-type (WT) plants. We …

Plants are often subjected to unfavorable environmental conditions–abiotic factors, causing
abiotic stresses-that play a major role in determining productivity of crop yields [1] but also …

Binding of heat shock factors (HSFs) with heat shock element sequence is critical for the
transcriptional induction of heat shock genes. Rice genome sequence shows 26 OsHsf …
