Photosynthesis, pathogen infection, and plant defense are three important biological
processes that have been investigated separately for decades. Photosynthesis generates …

Photorespiration results from the oxygenase reaction catalysed by ribulose–1, 5–
bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. In this reaction glycollate–2–phosphate is produced …

Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) has been implicated in many stress conditions. Control of H 2
O 2 levels is complex and dissection of mechanisms generating and relieving H 2 O 2 stress …

Legumes are well recognized for their nutritional and health benefits as well as for their
impact in the sustainability of agricultural systems. The threatening scenario imposed by …

The impact of salinity on the physiological and biochemical parameters of tolerant ('Bonica')
and susceptible ('Black Beauty') eggplant varieties (Solanum melongena L.) was …

A chimeric gene consisting of the coding sequence for cytosolic Cu/Zn-superoxide
dismutases (SOD) from Oryza sativa fused to the chloroplast transit sequence from …

Physiological behavior and antioxidant responses to salinity were studied in Crithmum
maritimum, a local halophyte naturally growing on rocky coasts. The plant growth was …

The potential role of photorespiration in the protection against salt stress was examined with
transgenic rice plants. Oryza sativa L. cv. Kinuhikari was transformed with a chloroplastic …

Purslane is a drought-and salt-tolerant annual plant, which contains high amounts of
beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidant vitamins. That purslane is adaptable to both …

Abscisic acid (ABA) applied exogenously at 100μM prior to and during the salt-stress period
induced salt tolerance in both the salt-susceptible (LPT123) and the genetically related salt …
