Comparative expression of two abscisic acid-inducible genes and proteins in seeds of aromatic indica rice cultivar with that of non-aromatic indica rice cultivars

TL;DR: This study reflected the similarity of the molecular responses to exogenous ABA of the seeds of the aromatic rice Gobindobhog to that of the salt-sensitive M-1-48, in exhibiting lower expression of stress-tolerant proteins only after stress, and proved that variation in gene/protein expression in seeds could be highly correlated with the variation in the tolerance mechanism of rice varieties.

Isolation and Analysis of Drought-Induced Genes in Maize Roots

TL;DR: Function analysis showed that the drought-induced genes isolated in maize roots were involved in a broad spectrum of biological pathways, mainly in signaling and regulatory pathways related to stress tolerance.

Transcriptional regulation of salinity stress: role and spatio-temporal expressions of ion-transporter gene promoters

TL;DR: An overview is given about promoter activity of different transporters and its involvement under salinity stress and their expression specificity in organs/tissues.

Effect of Organic Manure, Antioxidant and Proline on Corn (Zea mays L.) Grown under Saline Conditions

TL;DR: In this article, two field experiment using maize were conducted at the Experimental Station of the Agriculture Research Center in Tag El-Ezz, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt, during the growing seasons of 2016 and 2017.

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.

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.
