Transient physical association between enzymes appears to be a cardinal feature of
metabolic systems, yet the purpose of this metabolic organisation remains enigmatic. It is …

Salt stress impacts multiple aspects of plant metabolism and physiology. For instance it
inhibits photosynthesis through stomatal limitation, causes excessive accumulation of …

A review of recent progress in developing and applying analytical methods to quaternary
ammonium compounds (QAC) and tertiary sulphonium compounds (TSC), elucidating QAC …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

The accumulation of sugar alcohols and other low molecular weight metabolites such as
proline and glycine-betaine is a widespread response that may protect against …

The accumulation of compatible solutes is a prerequisite for the adaptation of
microorganisms to osmotic stress imposed by salt or organic solutes. Two types of strategies …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the osmoadaptation in bacteria. Bacterial ability
to osmoadapt seems to be the norm rather than the exception. Under the right environmental …

Compatible solutes are best described as organic osmolytes responsible for osmotic
balance and at the same time compatible with the cells' metabolism. A comprehensive …

The ability of exogenous compatible solutes, such as proline and glycinebetaine, to
counteract salt inhibitory effects in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv.'F144') was …

The effect of foliar-applied glycinebetaine (GB) on chloroplast ultrastructure, the amount of
chlorophyll and proteins and ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBPCO) …
