Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress that limits plant growth and agriculture productivity. To
cope with salt stress, plants have evolved complex salt-responsive signaling and metabolic …

Despite the growing interest towards methylglyoxal and glyoxalases their real role in
metabolic network is still obscure. In the light of developments several reviews have been …

Methylglyoxal (MG), a cytotoxic by-product produced mainly from triose phosphates, is used
as a substrate by glyoxalase I. In this paper, we report on the estimation of MG level in plants …

The element Ni is considered an essential plant micronutrient because it acts as an activator
of the enzyme urease. Recent studies have shown that Ni may activate an isoform of …

Abiotic stresses cause extensive losses to agricultural production worldwide. In this study,
the effects of various abiotic stresses on the upregulation of methylglyoxal levels and …
