Whither Crop Physiology
Antonio J. Hall,Victor O. Sadras +1 more
TL;DR: In crop physiology, as in many other disciplines, the degree of understanding varies across fields as mentioned in this paper, and judgments as to relative progress when comparing fields can become highly subjective, due to an inherent difficulty in methods but most of it stems from current perceptions of the relative importance of different fields in plant and crop sciences.

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.

Plant responses to drought, salinity and extreme temperatures: towards genetic engineering for stress tolerance
TL;DR: The present review summarizes the recent advances in elucidating stress-response mechanisms and their biotechnological applications and examines the following aspects: regulatory controls, metabolite engineering, ion transport, antioxidants and detoxification, late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) and heat-shock proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of plant heat-shock proteins and molecular chaperones in the abiotic stress response
TL;DR: The significance of Hsps and chaperones in abiotic stress responses in plants is summarized, and the co-operation among their different classes and their interactions with other stress-induced components are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving crop salt tolerance
TL;DR: Evaluation of claims in the literature that the transfer of a single or a few genes can increase the tolerance of plants to saline conditions reveals that, of the 68 papers produced between 1993 and early 2003, only 19 report quantitative estimates of plant growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulatory network of gene expression in the drought and cold stress responses.
TL;DR: This work has shown that several genes with various functions are induced by drought and cold stresses, and that various transcription factors are involved in the regulation of stress-inducible genes.
