The Influence of Climate Variation on Abiotic Plant Stress: A Review

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have discussed the different abiotic stressors in plants and how they are being influenced by climate variation, the response of these plants to different ABiotic stresses or a combination of stresses, and its management.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biology of plants coping stresses: epigenetic modifications and genetic engineering

TL;DR: In this paper , a review article describes the genetic and epigenetic improvement of crops to various biotic and abiotic stress resistance by creating novel epialleles, transgenic RNAi.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alternate mild drought stress (−0.1 MPa PEG) immunizes sensitive chickpea cultivar against lethal chilling by accentuating the defense mechanisms

TL;DR: It is hypothesize that preconditioning with non-lethal drought stress may immunize the plants to combat lethal cold stress, and both PDG3 and GPF2 showed enhanced SOD, CAT and GPOX activity indicating tolerance against cold-induced oxidative stress and preconditionsing induced improvement against lethalcold stress.

Genomic identification of group A bZIP transcription factors and their responses to abiotic stress in carrot.

TL;DR: The current analysis on group A bZIP family TFs in carrot is the first to investigate the TFs of Apiaceae via genome analysis and provides new information for future studies on carrot.

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.
