Drought Stress in Grain Legumes: Effects, Tolerance Mechanisms and Management
Marium Khatun,Sumi Sarkar,Farzana Mustafa Era,A. K. M. Mominul Islam,Md. Parvez Anwar,Shah Fahad,Rahul Datta,Aminul Islam +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the morpho-physiological, physio-biochemical and molecular levels of drought stress in legumes are described, and various management approaches for mitigating the drought stress effects in grain legumes were assessed.

Contrasting Changes Caused by Drought and Submergence Stresses in Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon).
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the mechanisms by which bermudagrass withstands the drought and submergence stresses through physiological, proteomic and metabolomic approaches, and found that significant physiological changes were observed after drought treatment, while only slight changes after submergence treatment, including compatible solute contents, ROS levels and antioxidant enzyme activities.

Expression and function of a modified AP2/ERF transcription factor from Brassica napus enhances cold tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis.
Ai-Sheng Xiong,Hai-Hua Jiang,Jing Zhuang,Ri-He Peng,Xiaofen Jin,Bo Zhu,Feng Wang,Jian Zhang,Quan-Hong Yao +8 more
TL;DR: Real-time PCR analyses revealed that the expression levels of several stress-regulated genes were altered in the over-expressed BnaERF-B3-hy15-mu3 transgenic lines, which responded to exogenous ABA.

Introduction to quantitative genetics
TL;DR: The genetic constitution of a population: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and changes in gene frequency: migration mutation, changes of variance, and heritability are studied.
Journal Article
Human biochemical genetics
TL;DR: For the next few weeks the course is going to be exploring a field that’s actually older than classical population genetics, although the approach it’ll be taking to it involves the use of population genetic machinery.

Roles of glycine betaine and proline in improving plant abiotic stress resistance
Muhammad Ashraf,Majid R. Foolad +1 more
TL;DR: In this review article, numerous examples of successful application of these compounds to improve plant stress tolerance are presented and a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of exogenously applied GB and proline is expected to aid their effective utilization in crop production in stress environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two transcription factors, DREB1 and DREB2, with an EREBP/AP2 DNA binding domain separate two cellular signal transduction pathways in drought- and low-temperature-responsive gene expression, respectively, in Arabidopsis.
Qiang Liu,Mie Kasuga,Yoh Sakuma,Hiroshi Abe,Setsuko Miura,Kazuko Yamaguchi-Shinozaki,Kazuo Shinozaki +6 more
TL;DR: Overexpression of the DREB1A cDNA in transgenic Arabidopsis plants not only induced strong expression of the target genes under unstressed conditions but also caused dwarfed phenotypes in the transgenic plants, and revealed freezing and dehydration tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drought and Salt Tolerance in Plants
TL;DR: The responses of plants to salt and water stress are described, the regulatory circuits which allow plants to cope with stress are presented, and how the present knowledge can be applied to obtain tolerant plants is discussed.
