Water limitation affects all types of organisms at some stage during their life cycle; therefore,
many strategies have been selected through evolution to cope with water deficit, including …

The evidence of global warming has increased interest in the cause of yield declines at
temperatures only slightly above optimal in many crops including tomato. It has been well …

Despite the intensive management practices available to modern agriculture, drought and
salinity are still major constraints on crop production and food security. Yield losses to …

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important crop from the Fabaceae family that is
cultivated worldwide for human consumption. It is also widely exposed to drought. The …

HSP70, a heat shock protein, is a molecular chaperone responsive to various environmental
stresses. Here, NtHSP70-1 (AY372069) was a drought-/ABA-inducible gene. We monitored …

Two transgenic potato lines, T1 and T2, expressing the trehalose-6-phosphate synthase
(TPS1) gene of yeast were isolated. In our experimental approach, we applied two novelties …

Rice is the most tolerant staple crop to aluminium (Al) toxicity, which is a limiting stress for
grain production worldwide. This Al tolerance is the result of combined mechanisms that are …

Abscisic acid stress ripening 1 (ASR1) is a low molecular weight plant-specific protein
encoded by an abiotic stress-regulated gene. Overexpression of ASR1 in transgenic plants …

The Asr gene family is widespread in higher plants. Most Asr genes are up-regulated under
different environmental stress conditions and during fruit ripening. ASR proteins are …

A comparative proteomic analysis between tomato fruits stored at chilling and non-chilling
temperatures was carried out just before the appearance of visible symptoms of chilling …
