Maize, the highest-yielding cereal crop worldwide, is particularly susceptible to drought
during its 2-to 3-week flowering period. Many genetic engineering strategies for drought …

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 …

Edaphic factors such as salinity, sodicity, and drought adversely affect crop productivity,
either alone or in combination. Despite soil sodicity being reported as an increasing problem …

Most organisms naturally accumulating trehalose upon stress produce the sugar in a two-
step process by the action of the enzymes trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) and …

The yeast trehalose-6-phosphate synthase gene (TPS1) was engineered under the control
of the cauliflower mosaic virus regulatory sequences (CaMV35S) for expression in plants …

Trehalose is a non-reducing disaccharide of glucose that confers tolerance against abiotic
stresses in many diverse organisms, including higher plants. It was previously reported that …

Trehalose is a nonreducing sugar composed of two glucose units linked in an α, α-1, 1-
glycosidic linkage. Present in a wide variety of organisms, this sugar may serve as a source …

Trehalose plays a role in drought stress resistance in a variety of organisms, including the
extremely drought-tolerant «resurrection plants». Transgenic tobacco plants that produce …

Trehalose is a rare sugar with unique abilities to protect biomolecules from environmental
stresses and is present in many bacteria, fungi and some desiccation-tolerant higher plants …

Trehalose plays an important role in metabolic regulation and abiotic stress tolerance in a
variety of organisms. In plants, its biosynthesis is catalyzed by two key enzymes: trehalose-6 …
