Trehalose plays an important role in stress tolerance in plants. Trehalose-producing,
transgenic rice (Oryza sativa) plants were generated by the introduction of a gene encoding …

Any non-living factors that affect negatively living organisms are reunited under the general
term “abiotic stress” and its effects can be and are mitigated by a variety of defense …

The gene whcE of Corynebacterium glutamicum plays a positive role in oxidative stress
responses and the WhcE protein interacts with SpiE. By utilizing 2D-PAGE analysis, we …

Trehalose is an endogenously synthesized disaccharide that is broadly distributed in the
biosphere. While recognized for its carbohydrate reserve and metabolic regulatory functions …

High temperature is one of the major abiotic stresses that limit edible mushroom growth and
development. The understanding of physiological alterations in response to heat stress and …

Trehalose is considered a thermoprotectant which allows for yeast survival to heat stress.
However, recent studies demonstrated a more complex role of trehalose metabolism, and of …

Desiccation is a common stress that bacteria face in the natural environment, and thus, they
have developed a variety of protective mechanisms to mitigate the damage caused by water …

Trehalose has been shown to play a role in osmotolerance or desiccation tolerance in some
microorganisms, anhydrobiotic invertebrates and resurrection plants. To test whether …

Glycine betaine is known to be the preferred osmoprotectant in many bacteria, and glycine
betaine accumulation has also been correlated with increased cold tolerance. Trehalose is …
