Nowadays, crop insufficiency resulting from soil salinization is threatening the world. On the
basis that soil salinization has become a worldwide problem, studying the mechanisms of …

The productivity of plants is greatly affected by various environmental stresses. Soil salinity
affects plant growth and development by way of osmotic stress, injurious effects of toxic Na+ …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,

▪ Abstract Since plant phospho enol pyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) was last reviewed in the
Annual Review of Plant Physiology over a decade ago (O'Leary 1982), significant advances …

Plant molecular responses to osmotic stress are complex as evidenced by the isolation of
numerous OR (osmotic stress-regulated) genes. Although functions including osmolyte …

Facultative crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) describes the optional use of CAM
photosynthesis, typically under conditions of drought stress, in plants that otherwise employ …

This review describes the life cycle of Mesembryantheum crystallinum L.(the common ice
