Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that limits agricultural productivity worldwide.
Plant roots function as the primary site of salinity perception. Salt responses in roots are …

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is among the most potent antioxidants known in nature and is
an important constituent of cellular defence against oxidative stress. The enzyme shows …

Abiotic stresses cause accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen
peroxide (H 2 O 2) in plants. Sophisticated mechanisms are required to maintain optimum …

Drought stress seriously impacts on plant development and productivity. Improvement of
drought tolerance without yield penalty is a great challenge in crop biotechnology. Here, we …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a major crop worldwide and its productivity is severely
reduced by high soil salinity. The aim of the current study was to gain insights into the …

Miscanthus, a potential energy crop grass, can be damaged by late frost when shoots
emerge too early in the spring and during the first winter after planting. The effects of cold …

Zinc-finger protein (ZFP) transcription factors are among the largest families of transcription
factors in plants. They participate in various biological processes such as apoptosis …

Antioxidant enzymes play a significant role in eliminating toxic levels of reactive oxygen
species (ROS), generated during stress from living cells. In the present study, two different …

The largest gene families in plants were found to be Glutathione transferases (GSTs), which
played significant roles in regulating plant growth, development, and stress response. Within …

Abstract Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) is known to accumulate in plants during abiotic stress
conditions and also acts as a signalling molecule. In this study, Arabidopsis thaliana …
