The aim of this review is to present the current state of knowledge on plant chitinases and
their regulation and function. Chitinases are up-regulated by a variety of stress conditions …

Antifreeze proteins are found in a wide range of overwintering plants where they inhibit the
growth and recrystallization of ice that forms in intercellular spaces. Unlike antifreeze …

Thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) are the products of a large, highly complex gene family
involved in host defence and a wide range of developmental processes in fungi, plants, and …

Drought and salt stress tolerance of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants increased
following treatment with the nonprotein amino acid β-aminobutyric acid (BABA), known as …
