TLDR
This study aimed to use somaclonal variation to select drought tolerant plants of Tagetes with significant tolerance compared with other regenerated and control plants and revealed lower water potential, greater accumulated biomass and a higher relative growth rate.

Developing stress tolerant plants through in vitro selection—An overview of the recent progress

TL;DR: The mechanisms of ROS (reaction oxygen species) generation and removal in plants under biotic and abiotic stress conditions have been reviewed and may be genetically stable and useful in crop improvement.

Growth, proline and ion accumulation in sugarcane callus cultures under drought-induced osmotic stress and its subsequent relief

TL;DR: It is concluded that the drought stress-induced changes are reversible, at the least at the cellular level, in sugarcane cultivars.

Effect of salt stress on growth, inorganic ion and proline accumulation in Thai aromatic rice, Khao Dawk Mali 105, callus culture

TL;DR: In this paper, the response of rice callus cultivar Khao Dawk Mali 105 (KDML105), commonly known as Thai jasmine rice, to salt stress was examined.

Mycorrhizal impact on drought stress tolerance of rose plants probed by chlorophyll a fluorescence, proline content and visual scoring

TL;DR: Investigation of the mechanism and the extent to which AM can prevent drought damages and whether physiological analyses reveal enhanced drought tolerance of an economically important plant such as the rose found proline content in leaves proved to be an unsuitable marker for AM-induced drought tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of NaCl and mannitol induced stress on sugarcane ( Saccharum sp.) callus cultures

TL;DR: Sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) can be regarded as a Na+ excluder under both stresses and a low level of Na+ concentration in the presence of NaCl, providing evidence that proline accumulation is a stress-sensitive trait rather than a stress resistance marker.

A revised medium for rapid growth and bio assays with tobacco tissue cultures

TL;DR: In vivo redox biosensing resolves the spatiotemporal dynamics of compartmental responses to local ROS generation and provide a basis for understanding how compartment-specific redox dynamics may operate in retrograde signaling and stress 67 acclimation in plants.

Rapid determination of free proline for water-stress studies

TL;DR: In this article, a simple colorimetric determination of proline in the 0.1 to 36.0 μmoles/g range of fresh weight leaf material was presented.

Sap Pressure in Vascular Plants: Negative hydrostatic pressure can be measured in plants.

TL;DR: A method is described which permits measurement of sap pressure in the xylem of vascular plants, and finds that in tall conifers there is a hydrostatic pressure gradient that closely corresponds to the height and seems surprisingly little influenced by the intensity of transpiration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Somaclonal variation — a novel source of variability from cell cultures for plant improvement

TL;DR: It is argued that this variation in plant cell culture itself generates genetic variability (somaclonal variation) that may be employed to enhance the exchange required in sexual hybrids for the introgression of desirable alien genes into a crop species.
