Proline is a multifunctional amino acid that is accumulated in high concentrations in plants
under various stress conditions. Proline accumulation is intimately connected to many …

Soil salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses restricting the use of land for agriculture
because it limits the growth and development of most crop plants. Improving productivity …

Plant responses to abiotic stress include various modifications in amino acid metabolism. By
using a hydroponic culture system, we systematically investigate modification in amino acid …

Dramatic accumulation of proline is a common physiological response in plants exposed to
various abiotic stresses. Accumulation of proline could be due to de novo synthesis …

Significance: The imino acid proline is utilized by different organisms to offset cellular
imbalances caused by environmental stress. The wide use in nature of proline as a stress …

Nitrogen is a limiting resource for plant growth in most terrestrial habitats since large
amounts of nitrogen are needed to synthesize nucleic acids and proteins. Among the 21 …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously generated as a consequence of plant
metabolic processes due to incomplete reduction of O 2. Previously considered to be only …

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 …

Proline has been recognized as a multi‐functional molecule, accumulating in high
concentrations in response to a variety of abiotic stresses. It is able to protect cells from …

Plants are constantly exposed to microorganisms in the environment and, as a result, have
evolved intricate mechanisms to recognize and defend themselves against potential …
