Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptations to Environmental Stresses.
TL;DR: Investigating plants under stress can learn about the plasticity of metabolic pathways and the limits to their functioning, and questions of an ecological and evolutionary nature need investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategies for engineering water-stress tolerance in plants
TL;DR: Water deficit is the commonest environmental stress factor limiting plant productivity, and the ability of plants to detoxify radicals under conditions of water deficit is probably the most critical requirement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress protection of transgenic tobacco by production of the osmolyte mannitol.
TL;DR: Transgenic tobacco plants that synthesize and accumulate the sugar alcohol mannitol were engineered by introduction of a bacterial gene that encodes manNitol 1 -phosphate dehydrogenase, which resulted in an increased ability to tolerate high salinity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mannitol Protects against Oxidation by Hydroxyl Radicals.
TL;DR: The stress-protective role of mannitol may be to shield susceptible thiol-regulated enzymes like PRK plus thioredoxin, ferredoxin, and glutathione from inactivation by hydroxyl radicals in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Resistance to Oxidative Stress in Transgenic Plants by Targeting Mannitol Biosynthesis to Chloroplasts
TL;DR: It is suggested that the chloroplast location of mannitol can supplement endogenous radical-scavenging mechanisms and reduce oxidative damage of cells by hydroxyl radicals in BS1-31 tobacco.
