Dehydrins (DHNs), or group 2 LEA (Late Embryogenesis Abundant) proteins, play a
fundamental role in plant response and adaptation to abiotic stresses. They accumulate …

Dehydration proteins (dehydrins) are group 2 members of the late embryogenesis abundant
(LEA) protein family. The protein architecture of dehydrins can be described by the presence …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Abscisic acid (ABA) reduces accumulation of potentially toxic cadmium (Cd) in plants. How
the ABA signal is transmitted to modulate Cd uptake remains largely unclear. Here, we …

Late embryogenesis-abundant (LEA) proteins are a large and highly diverse family believed
to function in normal plant growth and development, and in protecting cells from abiotic …

Cadmium (Cd) is a biologically non-essential and toxic heavy metal leaking to the
environment via natural emission or anthropogenic activities, thereby contaminating crops …

Group II late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are crucial phytomolecules which
accumulate mainly in the late phases of seed development and also in the vegetative …

Abiotic stress affects the growth and development of crops tremendously, worldwide. To
avoid adverse environmental effects, plants have evolved various efficient mechanisms to …

We have studied the influence of pretreatment of wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L.) with
50 μM salicylic acid (SA) on plant resistance to subsequent action of 1 mM cadmium acetate …

Heavy metal (HM) accumulation in the agricultural soil and its toxicity is a major threat for
plant growth and development. HMs disrupt functional integrity of the plants, induces altered …
