Nitrogen is a limiting resource for plant growth in most terrestrial habitats since large
amounts of nitrogen are needed to synthesize nucleic acids and proteins. Among the 21 …

Background Salt stress has become a major threat to plant growth and productivity.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonize plant root systems and modulate plant growth in …

Salinity and drought are the major osmotic stress limitations that affect plant growth and crop
yield in agriculture worldwide. The alternative response mediated by plants in response to …

Significance of naturally occurring intracellular polyamines (PAs), such as spermine,
spermidine, and putrescine, in relation to the mechanism and adaptation to combat abiotic …

Polyamines (PAs) are ubiquitous biogenic amines that have been implicated in diverse
cellular functions in widely distributed organisms. In plants, mutant and transgenic plants …

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 …

We investigated the effects of short-term salinity stress and spermidine application to
salinized nutrient solution on polyamine metabolism and various stress defense reactions in …

We present here the comparative protective potentiality of exogenously applied polyamines
(PAs), namely spermidine (Spd) and spermine (Spm), in mitigating NaCl toxicity and …

This study investigated whether and how polyamines (PAs) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants
are involved in drought resistance. Six rice cultivars differing in drought resistance were …

Despite the intensive management practices available to modern agriculture, drought and
salinity are still major constraints on crop production and food security. Yield losses to …
