1152 LINDQUIST that some creature living in the depths of the ocean does not have a heat-
shock response, but that is doubtful. The proteins are induced by a wide variety of other …

4-aminobutyrate (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid that is widely distributed throughout the
biological world. In animals, GABA functions as the predominant inhibitory neurotransmitter …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Inundation that gives rise to soil flooding, or more complete submergence, is the most
common environmental cause of oxygen deprivation for vascular plants. Species differ …

Anoxia can be one consequence of waterlogging and submergence of plants. Anoxia in
plant tissues reduces the rate of energy production by 65–97% compared with the rate in air …

Flooded plants experience impaired gas diffusion underwater, leading to oxygen deprivation
(hypoxia). The volatile plant hormone ethylene is rapidly trapped in submerged plant cells …

Waterlogging is the major obstacle for sustainable agriculture. Plants subjected to
waterlogging suffer from substantial yield losses. Under natural environmental conditions …

" Metabolic pathways are boring!" The attitude implicit in this assertion is not uncommon, and
probably arises because pathways are frequently considered to be uninteresting collections …

Flooding is a widely occurring environmental stress both for natural and cultivated plant
species. The primary problems associated with flooding arise due to restricted gas diffusion …

Waterlogging is a serious problem, which affects crop growth and yield in low lying rainfed
areas. The main cause of damage under waterlogging is oxygen deprivation, which affect …
