Abiotic stresses are the foremost limiting factors for agricultural productivity. Crop plants
need to cope up adverse external pressure created by environmental and edaphic …

▪ Abstract Plant responses to salinity stress are reviewed with emphasis on molecular
mechanisms of signal transduction and on the physiological consequences of altered gene …

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+ …

Betaine is distributed widely in animals, plants, and microorganisms, and rich dietary
sources include seafood, especially marine invertebrates (≈ 1%); wheat germ or bran (≈ …

The effect of salinity on some agro-physiological parameters in plants of five multigerm
varieties of sugar beet has been investigated. Plants were submitted to four salt treatments …

The halobacteria are the only organisms that are tolerant of salinity at the molecular level. All
other bacteria, all fungi, all plants, and all animals avoid the need for salt tolerance for most …

This book will shed light on the effect of salt stress on plants development, proteomics,
genomics, genetic engineering, and plant adaptations, among other topics. Understanding …

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

Glycine betaine is an osmoprotectant found in many organisms, including bacteria and
higher plants. The bacterium Escherichia coli produces glycine betaine by a two‐step …

Salt stress is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting crop production especially in arid and
semi-arid regions. It is reported that about 7% of the total earths land and 20% of the total …
