Plant cellular and molecular responses to high salinity.

TL;DR: Evidence for plant stress signaling systems is summarized, some of which have components analogous to those that regulate osmotic stress responses of yeast, some that presumably function in intercellular coordination or regulation of effector genes in a cell-/tissue-specific context required for tolerance of plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Roles of glycine betaine and proline in improving plant abiotic stress resistance

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

Salt tolerance and salinity effects on plants: a review.

TL;DR: The ability of plants to tolerate salt is determined by multiple biochemical pathways that facilitate retention and/or acquisition of water, protect chloroplast functions, and maintain ion homeostasis as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cold, salinity and drought stresses: an overview.

TL;DR: Various factors pertaining to cold acclimation, promoter elements, and role of transcription factors in stress signaling pathway have been described, and the role of calcium as an important signaling molecule in response to various stress signals has been covered.
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.

Living with water stress: evolution of osmolyte systems

TL;DR: Osmolyte compatibility is proposed to result from the absence of osmolytes interactions with substrates and cofactors, and the nonperturbing or favorable effects of oSMolytes on macromolecular-solvent interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid assay for determination of water soluble quaternary ammonium compounds

TL;DR: In this article, the periodide method for quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC) analysis was modified to permit rapid screening of numerous replicate plant samples, which provides a valuable tool for assessing salt tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Renal medullary organic osmolytes

TL;DR: Normal organic osmolyte regulation contributes to the survival and growth of medullary cells in their hyperosmolal environment, and defective regulation can damage them.
Journal ArticleDOI

Choline-glycine betaine pathway confers a high level of osmotic tolerance in Escherichia coli.

B Landfald, +1 more
TL;DR: The choline-glycine betaine pathway was osmotically regulated, i.e., full enzymic activities were found only in cells grown aerobically in Choline-containing medium at an elevated osmotic strength and Chloramphenicol inhibited the formation of the pathway in osmOTically stressed cells.
