Wheat TaSP gene improves salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) results showed that TaSP expression was induced under salt, abscisic acid (ABA), and polyethylene glycol (PEG) stresses, and subcellular localization revealed thatTaSP was mainly localized in cell membrane.

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.

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.

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.
