Overexpression of an ERF transcription factor TSRF1 improves rice drought tolerance.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TSRF1 enhances the osmotic and drought tolerance of rice by modulating the increase in stress responsive gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abscisic acid modulates polyamine metabolism under water stress in Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the role of abscisic acid (ABA) in the modulation of polyamine (PA) metabolism under water stress conditions in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.

Regulated expression of an isopentenyltransferase gene (IPT) in peanut significantly improves drought tolerance and increases yield under field conditions.
Hua Qin,Qiang Gu,Junling Zhang,Li Sun,Sundaram Kuppu,Yizheng Zhang,Mark D. Burow,Paxton Payton,Eduardo Blumwald,Hong Zhang +9 more
TL;DR: Regulated expression of IPT in peanut significantly improved drought tolerance in both laboratory and field conditions, and transgenic peanut plants produced significantly higher yields than wild-type control plants in the field, indicating a great potential for the development of crops with improved performance and yield in water-limited areas of the world.

A cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) DRE-binding transcription factor gene, GhDREB, confers enhanced tolerance to drought, high salt, and freezing stresses in transgenic wheat.
Shiqing Gao,Ming Chen,Lian-Qin Xia,Hui-Jun Xiu,Zhao-Shi Xu,Lian-Cheng Li,Chang-Ping Zhao,Xianguo Cheng,You-Zhi Ma +8 more
TL;DR: Functional analysis indicated that the transgenic plants had improved tolerance to drought, high salt, and freezing stresses through accumulating higher levels of soluble sugar and chlorophyll in leaves after stress treatments.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
