Abiotic Stress in Plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Living on the same planet, plants means a lot to us. No matter being taken, as our food or treated with great commercial significance, plants are so indispensable that we have to learn how to protect, make use of, and most important of all, get on well with them. In the first place, what we all understand is: plants are distinguished from us or other animals by being unable to escape from the surrounding circumstances. Thus, when they are confronted with living-threaten pressures, their only choice is to try their best to adjust to them.

Abiotic stress signal transduction in plants: Molecular and genetic perspectives.
Low temperature, drought and salinity are major adverse environmental factors that limit plant productivity. Understanding the mechanisms by which plants perceive and transduce these stress signals to initiate adaptive responses is essential for engineering stress-tolerant crop plants. Molecular and biochemical studies suggest that abiotic stress signaling in plants involves receptor-coupled ph...
متن کاملTranscription Factor-Mediated Abiotic Stress Signaling in Rice
Abiotic stresses are the major cause that limits productivity of crop plants worldwide. Plants respond to these stress conditions at physiological and molecular levels. At the molecular level, the expression of thousands of genes is altered in response to various abiotic stress conditions. Several studies have been performed to find out the role of these genes in abiotic stress signaling. Howev...
متن کاملAssessing Utilization and Environmental Risks of Important Genes in Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance
Transgenic plants with improved salt and drought stress tolerance have been developed with a large number of abiotic stress-related genes. Among these, the most extensively used genes are the glycine betaine biosynthetic codA, the DREB transcription factors, and vacuolar membrane Na(+)/H(+) antiporters. The use of codA, DREBs, and Na(+)/H(+) antiporters in transgenic plants has conferred stress...
متن کاملChemical Priming of Plants Against Multiple Abiotic Stresses: Mission Possible?
Crop plants are subjected to multiple abiotic stresses during their lifespan that greatly reduce productivity and threaten global food security. Recent research suggests that plants can be primed by chemical compounds to better tolerate different abiotic stresses. Chemical priming is a promising field in plant stress physiology and crop stress management. We review here promising chemical agent...
متن کاملCurrent Understanding of the Interplay between Phytohormones and Photosynthesis under Environmental Stress
Abiotic stress accounts for huge crop losses every year across the globe. In plants, the photosynthetic machinery gets severely damaged at various levels due to adverse environmental conditions. Moreover, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated as a result of stress further promote the photosynthetic damage by inhibiting the repair system of photosystem II. Earlier studies have suggested th...
متن کاملThe Plant Heat Stress Transcription Factors (HSFs): Structure, Regulation, and Function in Response to Abiotic Stresses
Abiotic stresses such as high temperature, salinity, and drought adversely affect the survival, growth, and reproduction of plants. Plants respond to such unfavorable changes through developmental, physiological, and biochemical ways, and these responses require expression of stress-responsive genes, which are regulated by a network of transcription factors (TFs), including heat stress transcri...
