different approaches may be taken to address this problem, including increased use of …

Trehalose (Tre) is a non-reducing disaccharide found in many species, including bacteria,
fungi, invertebrates, yeast, and even plants, where it acts as an osmoprotectant, energy …

Among abiotic stresses, heat stress is described as one of the major limiting factors of crop
growth worldwide, as high temperatures elicit a series of physiological, molecular, and …

Faced with desiccation stress, many organisms deploy strategies to maintain the integrity of
their cellular components. Amorphous glassy media composed of small molecular solutes or …

Plant abiotic stresses endanger crop production and food security to a growing degree
under the present climate change scenario. This calls for effective measures to be deployed …

A novel heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) strain CY-10 was
isolated and identified as Sphingopyxis sp. When ammonium, nitrate or nitrite was used as …
