Starch metabolism during abiotic stress 945 IV. Enzymes involved in stress‐induced …

Starch is a significant store of sugars, and the starch-sugar interconversion in source and
sink tissues plays a profound physiological role in all plants. In this review, we discuss how …

Stressful environments such as salinity, drought, and high temperature (heat) cause
alterations in a wide range of physiological, biochemical, and molecular processes in plants …

Plants regularly face adverse growth conditions, such as drought, salinity, chilling, freezing,
and high temperatures. These stresses can delay growth and development, reduce …

Metabolites reflect the integration of gene expression, protein interaction and other different
regulatory processes and are therefore closer to the phenotype than mRNA transcripts or …

Starch serves functions that range over a timescale of minutes to years, according to the cell
type from which it is derived. In guard cells, starch is rapidly mobilized by the synergistic …

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a pivotal role in a variety of developmental
processes and adaptive stress responses to environmental stimuli in plants. Cellular …

Trehalose is a natural non-reducing sugar that is found in the vast majority of organisms
such as bacteria, yeasts, invertebrates and even in plants. Regarding its features, it is …

Plants must respond and adapt to abiotic stresses to survive in various environmental
conditions. Plants have acquired various stress tolerance mechanisms, which are different …
