Dehydrins are intrinsically disordered proteins composed of several well conserved
sequence motifs known as the Y-, S-, F-, and K-segments, the latter of which is a defining …

Due to an expanding world population and increased buying power, the demand for
ruminant products such as meat and milk is expected to grow substantially in coming years …

Drought, cold, high-salinity and heat are major abiotic stresses that severely reduce the yield
of food crops worldwide. Traditional plant breeding approaches to improve abiotic stress …

Background: Soybean is a key crop that grants an imperative supply of oils and proteins to
humans and animals; however, its productivity spectacularly diminished owing to the …

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are hydrophilic, mostly intrinsically disordered
proteins, which play major roles in desiccation tolerance. In Arabidopsis thaliana, 51 genes …

Abstract Background Dehydrins (DHNs) protect plant cells from desiccation damage during
environmental stress, and also participate in host resistance to various pathogens. In this …

Drought is one of the most important abiotic stresses affecting plant growth and
development. In the present study, the changes in lipid peroxidation rate and ANTIOXIDANT …

Abrupt temperature reduction in winter wheat at either autumn seedling stage prior to
vernalisation or early spring crown stage can cause severe crop damage and reduce …

Cactus pears are succulent plants of the Cactaceae family adapted to extremely arid, hot
and cold environments, making them excellent models for the study of molecular …

Cold stress is a key factor limiting the yield and quality of non-heading Chinese cabbage.
The hydrophilic protective protein LEA plays an important role in plant abiotic stress. In this …
