Soluble Carbohydrates as Osmolytes in Several Halophytes from a Mediterranean Salt Marsh
TL;DR: The obtained results confirmed sorbitol as the major functional osmolyte in P. maritimus and suggested the participation of sucrose and, to a lesser extent, glucose and fructose in osmoregulatory mechanisms in J. crassifolia.

Comparative Analysis of Anther Transcriptome Profiles of Two Different Rice Male Sterile Lines Genotypes under Cold Stress
Bin Bai,Jun Wu,Jun Wu,Wen-tao Sheng,Wen-tao Sheng,Bo Zhou,Li-jie Zhou,Li-jie Zhou,Wen Zhuang,Dong-Ping Yao,Dong-Ping Yao,Qiyun Deng,Qiyun Deng,Qiyun Deng +13 more
TL;DR: It was found that ribosome-related DEGs may play key roles in cold stress signal transduction in rice Y58S and P64S, and these results presented here would be particularly useful for further studies on investigating the molecular mechanisms of rice responses to cold stress.

Plant Genes for Abiotic Stress
TL;DR: Responses to stress are not linear pathways, but are complex integrated circuits involving multiple pathways and in specific cellular compartments, tissues, and the interaction of additional cofactors and/or signalling molecules to coordinate a specified response to a given stimulus.

Genetic Engineering Strategies for Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants
Francisco Marco,Marta Bitrián,Pedro Carrasco,Manchikatla Venkat Rajam,Rubén Alcázar,Antonio F. Tiburcio +5 more
TL;DR: Posttranscriptional and posttranslational regulation mechanisms of the abiotic stress response, like microRNAs and ubiquitination, appear as promising new modulation targets to develop abiotic Stress-tolerant plants and contribute to the development of more productive crops to feed the growing mass.

Exogenous Cytokinins Increase Grain Yield of Winter Wheat Cultivars by Improving Stay-Green Characteristics under Heat Stress.
Dongqing Yang,Yong Li,Yuhua Shi,Zhengyong Cui,Yongli Luo,Mengjing Zheng,Chen Jin,Yanxia Li,Yanping Yin,Zhenlin Wang +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the decrease in grain yield under heat stress was due to a lower ZR content and a higher GA3 content compared to that at elevated temperature during the early development of the kernels, which resulted in less kernel number and lower grain-filling rate.

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.

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.
