Environmental stress is one of the major threats affecting the living world. The most crucial
function of plant is to induce different regulatory self-defence pathways in response to stress …

Polyamines, the polycationic aliphatic amines, are universal in all organisms and play a
crucial role in plant responses to an array of biotic and abiotic stresses. Putrescine (Put) …

Polyamines (PAs) are small polycationic aliphatic amines and are ubiquitous in the plant
kingdom. They play important roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses …

Agricultural production and quality are adversely affected by various abiotic stresses
including water deficit conditions (drought), salinity, extreme temperatures (heat, cold), light …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that reduce plant growth and productivity of many
crops worldwide. Similarly to other stresses, salinity may cause oxidative stress via …

Plants, being sessile organisms, are challenged by variety of stresses in the form of abiotic
and biotic components of environment. In such adverse conditions, plants evolve various …

Plant development and productivity are negatively regulated by environmental stresses. The
loss of productivity is triggered by a series of morphological, physiological, biochemical and …

This chapter focuses on polyamine synthesis, degradation, conjugation and transport in
plants, and on the regulation of polyamine and polyamine-metabolizing enzymes under …

The present review highlights some recent advances regarding the function of polyamines in
the environmental stress tolerance of plants. When exposed to adverse environmental …

Organic solutes can act like osmoprotectants, playing an important role in the reduction of
the damage caused by osmotic stress in higher plants. Many soluble nitrogen compounds …
