Abiotic stresses have a detrimental impact on plant growth and productivity and are a major
threat to sustainable crop production in rapidly changing environments. Proline, an …

Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and intensity of abiotic stress
combinations that negatively impact plants and pose a serious threat to crop yield and food …

Plant responses to abiotic stress include various modifications in amino acid metabolism. By
using a hydroponic culture system, we systematically investigate modification in amino acid …

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 …

Key message During abiotic stress low abundant amino acids are not synthesized but they
accumulate due to increased protein turnover under conditions inducing carbohydrate …

Plants regularly face adverse growth conditions, such as drought, salinity, chilling, freezing,
and high temperatures. These stresses can delay growth and development, reduce …

In plants, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) accumulates rapidly in response to environmental
stress and variations in its endogenous concentration have been shown to affect plant …

The term metabolome was coined in 1998, by analogy to genome, transcriptome and
proteome. The first research papers using the terms metabolomics, metabonomics …

Plant metabolism is perturbed by various abiotic stresses. As such the metabolic network of
plants must be reconfigured under stress conditions in order to allow both the maintenance …

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