Water limitation affects all types of organisms at some stage during their life cycle; therefore,
many strategies have been selected through evolution to cope with water deficit, including …

The bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans shows remarkable resistance to a range of
damage caused by ionizing radiation, desiccation, UV radiation, oxidizing agents, and …

Aluminum (Al) stress is one of the serious limiting factors in plant productivity in acidic soils,
which constitute about 50% of the world's potentially arable lands and causes anywhere …

Three-week-old plants of two unrelated lines of maize (Zea mays L.) and their hybrid were
submitted to progressive water stress for 10 d. Changes induced in leaf proteins were …

Despite the intensive management practices available to modern agriculture, drought and
salinity are still major constraints on crop production and food security. Yield losses to …

The function of ASR (ABA [abscisic acid]-, stress-, and ripening-induced) proteins remains
unknown. A grape ASR, VvMSA, was isolated by means of a yeast one-hybrid approach …

The analysis of stress-responsiveness in plants is an important route to the discovery of
genes conferring stress tolerance and their use in breeding programs. Proteomic analysis …

Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins, a group of hydrophilic proteins, have been
linked to survival in plants and animals in periods of stress, putatively through safeguarding …

Abstract LLA23, an abscisic acid-, stress-, and ripening-induced protein, was previously
isolated from lily (Lilium longiflorum) pollen. The expression of LLA23 is induced under the …

Water availability is one of the major limiting factors for plant growth. Maize is particularly
sensitive to water stress at reproductive stages with a strong impairment of photosynthesis …
