STRESS TOLERANCE

The present study designed new methods (Protray and beaker method) to screen for anaerobic germination by assessing simple seed and seedling characters such as germination per cent, greater shoot length by means of coleoptiles elongation and higher vigor index to find the donors for anaerobic stress[r]

Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen with the ability to survive and grow in different foods and food processing environments. The variability in innate stress tolerance abilities of L. monocytogenes strains (n=104) isolated from clinical (n=35), environment (n=28) and food (n=4[r]

Recent progress in the elucidation of salt stress signalling and effector output determinants that mediate ion homeostasis has uncovered some potential biotechnology tactics that may be used to obtain salt tolerant crop plants, i.e. enhance the yield stability under salinity. Two basic strat[r]

The major threat of the agricultural crop is the climate change, which grown globally in the subtropical and the tropical regions. Negative impact on the plant growth, development and the economic yield regarding climate change due to consequences of the draught stress. For the prediction of the cli[r]

Water deficit stress is one of the important factors limiting chickpea production in arid and semiarid regions. Water deficit induced b Polyethylene glycol (PEG) affect physiological and biochemical changes in Chickpea. This investigation was undertaken to evaluate morpho-physiological parameters, l[r]

Worldwide salinity is the foremost soil environmental factor adversely affecting the seed germination, plant growth and yield. Recent studies shows that Lipo Chito Oligosaccharide (LCO-nod factors) as a unique molecule, which is responsible for abiotic stress tolerance. Hence a laboratory experiment[r]

Plants perceive UV-B through the UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8) photoreceptor and UVR8 activation leads to changes in gene expression such as those associated with UV-B acclimation and stress tolerance.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in the processes of plant growth and development, but little is known of their functions during dehydration stress in wheat. Moreover, the mechanisms by which miRNAs confer different levels of dehydration stress tolerance in different wheat genotypes are unclea[r]

Polyploidy has often been considered to confer plants a better adaptation to environmental stresses. Tetraploid citrus rootstocks are expected to have stronger stress tolerance than diploid.

Galactinol synthase (GolS) has been known to play a key role in raffinose biosynthesis by catalysing the formation of galactinol. The GolS gene family has been recently identified in various plant species. Among them, many individual GolS genes have been reported to function in plant stress toleranc[r]

The present investigation was carried out in 73 eggplant genotypes to assess the nature and extent of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance under normal (0% PEG-6000 as control) and osmotic stress condition (12 % PEG-6000) in germination phases in three replications in a completely r[r]

Everyone tries to relieve stress by taking anti-stress drugs. However, synthetic anti-stress drugs have unwanted side effects, expensive and not readily accessible. Thus, we aimed at investigating the anti-stress activities of aqueous extract of Musanga cecropioides stem bark using forced swimming e[r]

The present investigation was carried out in 49 groundnut genotypes to assess the nature and extent of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance under normal (0 % polyethylene glycol-6000 as control) and osmotic stress condition (15 % polyethylene glycol-6000) in germination phases in th[r]

Cytokinin (CK) is an important phytohormone, which not only plays significant role in plant development but also involves in mediating plant stress tolerance. Previous studies showed that the drought tolerance can be improved by stress-inducible overexpression of adenine isopentenyl transferase (IPT[r]

Alkaline/neutral invertase (A/N-INV), an enzyme that hydrolyzes sucrose irreversibly into glucose and fructose, is essential for normal plant growth,development, and stress tolerance. However, the physiological and/or molecular mechanism underpinning the role of A/N-INV in abiotic stress tolerance i[r]

Although miRNAs are reportedly involved in the salt stress tolerance of plants, miRNA profiling in plants has largely remained restricted to glycophytes, including certain crop species that do not exhibit any tolerance to salinity. Hence, this manuscript describes the results from the miRNA profilin[r]
