Photosynthesis under drought and salt stress: regulation mechanisms from whole plant to cell

TL;DR: It is becoming apparent that plants perceive and respond to drought and salt stresses by quickly altering gene expression in parallel with physiological and biochemical alterations; this occurs even under mild to moderate stress conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of drought and heat stress on reproductive processes in cereals.

TL;DR: The results achieved so far indicate that various plant organs, in a definite hierarchy and in interaction with each other, are involved in determining crop yield under stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

The interaction of plant biotic and abiotic stresses: from genes to the field

TL;DR: This review aims to characterize the interaction between biotic and abiotic stress responses at a molecular level, focusing on regulatory mechanisms important to both pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive oxygen species, abiotic stress and stress combination.

TL;DR: ROS is beneficial to plants during abiotic stress enabling them to adjust their metabolism and mount a proper acclimation response, as long as cells maintain high enough energy reserves to detoxify ROS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abiotic and biotic stress combinations

TL;DR: This review will provide an update on recent studies focusing on the response of plants to a combination of different stresses, and address how different stress responses are integrated and how they impact plant growth and physiological traits.

Oxidative stress, antioxidants and stress tolerance

TL;DR: Key steps of the signal transduction pathway that senses ROIs in plants have been identified and raise several intriguing questions about the relationships between ROI signaling, ROI stress and the production and scavenging ofROIs in the different cellular compartments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive oxygen gene network of plants

TL;DR: In Arabidopsis, a network of at least 152 genes is involved in managing the level of ROS, and this network is highly dynamic and redundant, and encodes ROS-scavenging and ROS-producing proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant Productivity and Environment

TL;DR: An analysis of major U.S. crops shows that there is a large genetic potential for yield that is unrealized because of the need for better adaptation of the plants to the environments in which they are grown.
Book

Biochemistry & Molecular Biology of Plants

TL;DR: This edition of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology of Plants holds a unique place in the plant sciences literature as it provides the only comprehensive, authoritative, integrated single volume book in this essential field of study.

Improving plant drought, salt, and freezing tolerance by gene transfer of a single stress-inducible transcription factor

TL;DR: This article showed that over-expression of the cDNA encoding DREB1A in transgenic plants activated the expression of many of these stress tolerance genes under normal growing conditions and resulted in improved tolerance to drought, salt loading, and freezing.
