Drought tolerance is a key trait for increasing and stabilizing barley productivity in dry areas
worldwide. Identification of the genes responsible for drought tolerance in barley (Hordeum …

Plant glutathione transferases (GSTs) are induced by diverse biotic and abiotic stimuli, and
are important for protecting plants against oxidative damage. We have studied the primary …

The present study investigated rice leaf proteome in response to heat stress. Rice seedlings
were subjected to a temperature of 42° C and samples were collected 12 and 24 h after …

Plants are always exposed to various stresses. We have focused on freezing stress, which
causes serious problems for agricultural management. When plants suffer freeze-induced …

Tau class glutathione transferases (GSTU) genes are plant specific, induced by different
abiotic stress, and important for protecting plants against oxidative damage. GST gene was …

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are well-known enzymes due to their role in detoxification
of xenobiotic compounds. However, their biochemical action is still not so clear in imparting …

Dormancy is a physiological state that plants enter for winter hardiness. Environmental-
induced dormancy onset and release in temperate perennials coordinate growth cessation …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is one of the most important cereals in many developing countries
where drought stress considerably diminishes agricultural production. Glutathione S …

Camalexin, a major phytoalexin in Arabidopsis thaliana, consists of an indole ring and a
thiazole ring. The indole ring is produced from Trp, which is converted to indole-3 …
