Background For scavenging reactive oxygen species, plant possess effective system that
protect them from destructive oxidative reaction. Parts of this system as osmoprotectants and …

To explore the effects of triacontanol (TR) on drought tolerance of strawberry plants (cv
Fertona), two field experiments were carried out to study the effects of three supplementary …

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an important oilseed crop, usually grown on a small
scale and in salt-affected soils. Salinity stress can cause oxidative damage to plants …

Extreme environmental conditions such as drought, cold or high soil salinity impede plant
growth and require specific adaptation capacity. In response to environmental stresses, a …

Salinity and waterlogging are two stresses which in nature often occur simultaneously. In
this work, effects of combined waterlogging and salinity stresses are studied on the …

This study aimed to investigate and compare the effects of exogenous glycinebetaine (GB)
and trehalose (TR) on the biological responses of duckweed (Lemna gibba L.) against …

Cold stress is among the environmental stressors limiting productivity, yield and quality of
agricultural plants. Tolerance to cold stress is associated with the increased unsaturated …

Intertidal macroalgae are highly resistant to hypersaline stress conditions. However, the
underlying mechanism remains unknown. In the present study, the mechanism behind …

Continuous discoveries in plant and crop physiology have resulted in an abundance of new
information since the publication of the second edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop …

Plants synthesize compatible solutes such as glycinebetaine (GB) in response to abiotic
stresses. To evaluate the synergistic and protective effect of GB, transgenic potato plants …
