Being rooted in place, plants are faced with the challenge of responding to unfavourable
local conditions. One such condition, heat stress, contributes massively to crop losses …

Under stress, isolated microspores are reprogrammed in vitro towards embryogenesis,
producing doubled haploid plants that are useful biotechnological tools in plant breeding as …

Plant tissues contain large amounts of secondary compounds that significantly interfere with
protein extraction and 2DE analysis. Thus, sample preparation is a crucial step prior to 2DE …

During microspore embryogenesis, microspores are induced to develop into haploid
embryos. In Brassica napus, microspore embryogenesis is induced by a heat shock (HS) …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most grown cereal crop in the world (839 million tons in 2012).
According to its agro‐economical importance, maize has received tremendous attention …

Drought and salinity are two of the most frequently co-occurring abiotic stresses. Despite
recent advances in the elucidation of the effects of these stresses individually during the …

Background Every year, environmental stresses such as limited water and nutrient
availability, salinity, and temperature fluctuations inflict significant losses on crop yields …

Plants enhance their cold stress tolerance by cold acclimation, a process which results in
vast reprogramming of transcriptome, proteome and metabolome. Evidence suggests nitric …

Constant global warming is one of the most detrimental environmental factors for agriculture
causing significant losses in productivity as heat stress (HS) conditions damage plant growth …

The effectiveness of microspore embryogenesis (ME) is determined by a complex network of
internal and environmental factors. In the present study on triticale and barley, strong …
