Photosynthesis is crucial for the survival of all living biota, playing a key role in plant
productivity by generating the carbon skeleton that is the primary component of all …

Modern agriculture is facing twin challenge of ensuring global food security and executing it
in a sustainable manner. However, the rapidly expanding salinity stress in cultivable areas …

Plants living under natural conditions are exposed to many adverse factors that interfere with
the photosynthetic process, leading to declines in growth, development, and yield. The …

Abstract Background and Aims Osmolytes are low-molecular-weight organic solutes, a
broad group that encompasses a variety of compounds such as amino acids, tertiary …

Soil salinity is a major threat to agricultural sustainability and a global food security. Until
now, most research has concentrated around stomatal limitation to photosynthesis, while …

Main conclusion Plant osmoprotectants protect against abiotic stresses. Introgression of
osmoprotectant genes into crop plants via genetic engineering is an important strategy in …

Algae biofuels may provide a viable alternative to fossil fuels; however, this technology must
overcome a number of hurdles before it can compete in the fuel market and be broadly …

Various compatible solutes enable plants to tolerate abiotic stress, and glycinebetaine (GB)
is one of the most‐studied among such solutes. Early research on GB focused on the …

The increasing seriousness of salinization aggravates the food, population and
environmental issues. Ameliorating the salt-resistance of plants especially the crops is the …

Abiotic stresses (such as salinity, drought, cold, heat, mineral deficiency and
metals/metalloids) have become major threats to the global agricultural production. These …
