Studies on germination, seedling vigour, lipid peroxidation and proline metabolism in Catharanthus roseus seedlings under salt stress

TL;DR: It was found that germination was delayed at lower salinity levels and inhibited at higher salinity regimes, and the activity of proline oxidase (PROX) decreased and the γ-glutamyl kinase (γ-GK) activity increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exogenous nitric oxide improves seed germination in wheat against mitochondrial oxidative damage induced by high salinity

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of exogenous nitric oxide (NO) on starch degradation, oxidation in mitochondria and K + /Na + accumulation during seed germination of wheat were investigated under a high salinity level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of salt stress on proline metabolism in two high yielding genotypes of green gram

TL;DR: It is suggested that during salt stress, proline metabolism was significantly altered and the extent of alteration varied between the cultivars T-44 and SML-32, leading to the maintenance of the turgor by accumulating higher levels of free proline in T- 44, supporting its salt tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of salicylic acid on proline metabolism in lentil grown under salinity stress

TL;DR: It was concluded that SA ameliorated the stress generated by NaCl through the alleviated proline metabolizing system and the adverse effects of salt stress could be alleviated by exogenous application of SA, which could be used as a potential growth regulator to improve plant salinity tolerance.
Journal Article

NaCl pretreatment alleviates salt stress by enhancement of antioxidant defense system and osmolyte accumulation in mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek).

TL;DR: Mungbean plants can acclimate to lethal level of salinity by pretreatment with sublethal level of NaCl, improving their health and production under saline condition.

Responses of plants to environmental stresses

J. Levitt
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the responses of plants to environmental stresses and found that plants respond to environmental stress in response to various types of stressors, such as drought and flooding.
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

Dissecting the roles of osmolyte accumulation during stress

TL;DR: In re-assessing the functional significance of compatible solute accumulation, it is suggested that proline and glycine betaine synthesis may buffer cellular redox potential and contribute to stress-tolerant phenotypes observed.

Molecular Responses to Water Deficit

TL;DR: Although studies on the molecular responses to water deficit have identified multiple changes in gene expression using twodimensional PAGE, and many genes that are water-defictinduced have been isolated by differential screening of cDNA libraries, it is difficult to ascertain the actual function of drought-induced gene products.
