Drought and high salinity are two major abiotic stresses that significantly affect agricultural
crop productivity worldwide. Annexins are a multigene family that plays an essential role in …

Annexins are a family of calcium-and membrane-binding proteins that are important for plant
tolerance to adverse environmental conditions. Annexins function to counteract oxidative …

Annexins are Ca2+-and phospholipid-binding proteins that form an evolutionarily conserved
multigene family throughout the animal and plant kingdoms. Two annexins, AnnAt1 and …

Crop productivity depends heavily on several biotic and abiotic factors. Plant annexins are a
multigene family of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins that function in …

Annexin is a multigene family that plays critical roles in plant stress responses and various
cellular processes. Here, we reported the cloning and functional characterization of a novel …

Universal stress protein (USP) appears to play an active role in the abiotic stress response,
but their functions remain largely unknown in plants. A USP gene (SpUSP) was cloned from …

Plant annexins constitute a multigene family having suggested roles in a variety of cellular
processes including stress responses. We have isolated and characterized five different …

Abiotic stress results in massive loss of crop productivity throughout the world. Because of
our limited knowledge of the plant defense mechanisms, it is very difficult to exploit the plant …

Annexins belong to a plasma membrane binding (in a calcium dependent manner), multi-
gene family of proteins, which play ameliorating roles in biotic and abiotic stresses. The …

Annexins act as targets of calcium signals in eukaryotic cells, and recent results suggest that
they play an important role in plant stress responses. We found that in Arabidopsis …
