Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously generated as a consequence of plant
metabolic processes due to incomplete reduction of O 2. Previously considered to be only …

Dramatic accumulation of proline due to increased synthesis and decreased degradation
under a variety of stress conditions such as salt, drought and metal has been documented in …

Water deficits cause a reduction in the rate of photosynthesis. Exposure to mild water
deficits, when relative water content (RWC) remains above 70%, primarily causes limitation …

In many plants, free proline accumulates in response to the imposition of a wide range of
biotic and abiotic stresses. Controversy has surrounded the extent to which this shift in …

Less than 5% of the total pool of free amino acids in plants under stress-free conditions is
provided by proline. In many plants under various forms of stress, the concentration …

Cell lines of a salt-sensitive cultivar of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L. cv. JL24) were
selected on media amended with high NaCl concentrations. Comparative analyses of the …

Normal growth and development of plants is greatly dependent on the capacity to overcome
environmental stresses. Environmental stress conditions like high salinity, drought, high …

Drought tolerance is a complex trait controlled by many metabolic pathways and genes and
identifying a solution to increase the resilience of plants to drought stress is one of the grand …

Proline and betaine accumulate in plant cells under environmental stresses including salt
stress. Here, we investigated effects of proline and betaine on the growth and activities of …

Molecular oxygen in electronic singlet state is a very powerful oxidant. Its damaging action in
a variety of biological processes has been well recognized. Here we report the singlet …
