Sweet sorghum is a C4 crop with the characteristic of fast-growth and high-yields. It is a
good source for food, feed, fiber, and fuel. On saline land, sweet sorghum can not only …

Background In response to various environmental stresses, many plant species synthesize L-
proline in the cytosol and accumulates in the chloroplasts. L-Proline accumulation in plants …

Salinity stress is one of the most vital abiotic stresses which results in significant damages of
agricultural production, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas of the world. Salinity causes …

More than one third of the world's irrigated lands are affected by salinity, which has great
impact on plant growth and yield worldwide. Proline accumulation under salt stress has …

Glycine betaine (GB) and proline are two major organic osmolytes that accumulate in a
variety of plant species in response to environmental stresses such as drought, salinity …

Background It is well known that salinization (high-pH) has been considered as a major
environmental threat to agricultural systems. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

Proline accumulation occurs in a wide range of plant species in response to various kinds of
environmental stresses. A large body of evidence suggests that a positive correlation occurs …

The ability of plants to tolerate salts is determined by multiple biochemical pathways that
facilitate retention and/or acquisition of water, protect chloroplast functions and maintain ion …

Salinity is one of the most serious factors limiting the productivity of agricultural crops, with
adverse effects on germination, plant vigour and crop yield (RMunns & Tester, 2008) …

Drought stress usually causes a serious yield reduction in wheat production. Silicon (Si) has
been reported to be able to alleviate drought stress damage; however, the mechanism is still …
