Forest trees are subjected to multiple stressors during their long lifetime and therefore
require effective and finely regulated stress-protective systems. Stressors can induce …

An increase in the frequency and magnitude of drought events threatens the health of forests
and the economic, ecological, and societal services they provide. It has been widely …

Although considerable effort has been directed at identifying and understanding the function
and regulation of stress‐induced proteins in herbaceous plants, reports concerning woody …

Evidence is accumulating in favor of a linkage at the cellular level between various abiotic
stresses. We conducted a study to evaluate the effect of water stress on the heat tolerance of …

To investigate the role of dehydrins (DHNs) in extreme low-temperature (LT) tolerance, we
sampled needle tissue of Siberian spruce (Picea obovata Ledeb.) from trees growing in an …

Drought, salinity, extreme temperature variations, pathogen and herbivory attacks are
recurring environmental stresses experienced by plants throughout their life. To survive …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are induced not only under heat stress conditions but also
under other environmental stresses such as water stress. In plants, HSPs families are larger …

A cDNA clone encoding a dehydrin gene was isolated from a cDNA library prepared from
white spruce (Picea glauca) needle mRNAs. The cDNA, designated PgDhn1, is 1159 …

Natural seasonal variation and the effects of cold treatment and nitrogen fertilization on
protein expression with special emphasis on dehydrin proteins, were studied using different …

This investigation has focused on the content of heat shock proteins (Hsps) and dehydrins
(dhn) in the needles of Pinus sylvestris L.(common pine) depending on environmental …
