The acclimation of a plant to a constantly changing environment involves the accumulation
of certain organic compounds of low molecular mass, known collectively as compatible …

At present, environmental degradation and the consistently growing population are two main
problems on the planet earth. Fulfilling the needs of this growing population is quite difficult …

Glycine betaine (GB) is an important compatible solute that protects plants against the
damaging effects of abiotic stresses. A number of plants have been engineered to contain …

Abiotic stresses including drought, salinity and cold are a major challenge for sustainable
food production as they may decrease the potential yields in crop plants by 70%. Success in …

Transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing the choline oxidase gene from A. globiformis
showed an increase in resistance at the level of primary and secondary biosynthesis of …

To withstand osmotic stress induced by salinity, drought or extreme temperatures, all
organisms have evolved a machinery to synthesize metabolites, termed “compatible solutes” …

The bacterial betA gene for biosynthesis of glycinebetaine was transferred to cabbage
(Brassica oleracea var. capitata) cultivar 'Golden Acre'through Agrobacterium-mediated …

Wheat is among major cereals cultivated and consumed all over the world. However,
production of wheat worldwide is affected by salinity stress. With reference to salt stress …

Transgenic lines of Brassica juncea with codA gene from Arthrobacter globiformis were
generated. The codA gene was targeted into the chloroplasts to enable the transformed …

Choline oxidase catalyzes the four-electron, two-step, flavin-mediated oxidation of choline to
glycine betaine. The enzyme is important both for medical and biotechnological reasons …
