Dehydration tolerance was an adaptive trait necessary for the colonization of land by plants,
and remains widespread among bryophytes: the nearest extant relatives of the first land …

Regulatory networks of salt stress and abscisic acid (ABA) responses have previously been
analyzed in seed plants. Here, we report microarray expression profiles of 439 genes …

The moss Physcomitrella patens is becoming the model of choice for functional genomic
studies at the cellular level. Studies report that Physcomitrella survives moderate osmotic …

Water deficit is one of the most common environmental stress factors experienced by land
plants, having a major adverse effect on plant survival and productivity (Kramer & Boyer …

Nature provides all necessary components for healthy growth and development of plants in
the form of air, water, light, nutrients, and soil. Any imbalance in the environmental harmony …

Almost 2000 drought-responsive genes were identified in Arabidopsis thaliana under
progressive soil drought stress using whole-genome oligonucleotide microarrays. Most of …

Although the response of plants exposed to severe drought stress has been studied
extensively, little is known about how plants adapt their growth under mild drought stress …

In order to determine the degree of tolerance of the moss Physcomitrella patens to different
abiotic stress conditions, we examined its tolerance against salt, osmotic and dehydration …

Various abiotic stresses such as drought, high salinity, high temperature, and low
temperature negatively impact plant growth and productivity of crops. Plants have adapted to …

Rapidly decreasing water availability as a consequence of climate change is likely to
endanger the range of long-lived tree species. A pressing question is, therefore, whether …
