Crop productivity strongly depends on several biotic and abiotic factors. Salinity is one of the
most important abiotic factors, besides drought, extreme temperatures, light and metal …

Rice is a staple food for half of the human population. Unlike other cereals such as wheat
and barley, rice plants are susceptible to cold stress, which often results in decreased …

Key message We describe here the recent developments about the involvement of diverse
stress-related proteins in sensing, signaling, and defending the cells in plants in response to …

Halophytes are plant species widely distributed in saline habitats, such as beaches,
postindustrial wastelands, irrigated lands, salt flats, and others. Excessive salt level, known …

Bioactivities of polysaccharides derived from halophyte plants have gained attention in
recent years. The use of biostimulants in agriculture is an innovative method of dealing with …

Stress associated proteins (SAPs), novel A20/AN1 zinc‐finger domain‐containing proteins,
are fast emerging as potential candidates for biotechnological approaches in order to …

Abstract In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants growing under normal conditions,
DEHYDRATION-RESPONSIVE ELEMENT BINDING PROTEIN2A (DREB2A) is present at …

Background Soil salinization is a worldwide environmental problem, especially in the arid
and semiarid regions of northeastern China, which are heavily affected by soda saline …

Stress associated proteins (SAPs) containing A20/AN1 zinc finger domains have emerged
as novel regulators of stress responses. In this study, 27 SAP genes were identified in …

Cold stress is a key environmental factor affecting plant growth and development, crop
productivity, and geographic distribution. Thioredoxins (Trxs) are small proteins that are …
