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 …

Plants subjected to stress show accumulation of proline and other amino acids. The role
played by accumulated amino acids in plants varies from acting as osmolyte, regulation of …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple foods in the world, however most
improved rice varieties are susceptible to drought stress. A two-year study was conducted to …

This publication opens with the inevitable introduction, moves on to the present traditional
approach to breeding for yield stability, and then enumerates a detailed discussion of the …

The changes in plant growth, relative water content (RWC), stomatal conductance, lipid
peroxidation, proline and antioxidant system in relation to the tolerance to polyethylene …

On a global basis, water is a paramount factor in determining the distribution of species, and
the responses and adaptations of a species to water stress are critical for its success in any …

Plant stress is a major limitation to crop yield. The amelioration of crop environments is
either impossible or costly. The breeding of crop varieties resistant to environmental stress is …

Seedlings of two forage sorghum genotypes (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) differing in salt
tolerance were subjected to 0 and 100 mM NaCl and shoot development, leaf elongation …

Drought is considered the main abiotic stress factor that inhibits growth of crop plants
(including barley), limiting yield in many regions worldwide. Predicted climate changes show …

The effect of salt stress was studied on free proline accumulation, activities of pyrroline-5-
carboxylate reductase (P-5-CR), proline oxidase and γ-glutamyl kinase, glycinebetaine …
