Designing resilient and sustainable grasslands for a drier future: Adaptive strategies, functional traits and biotic interactions (2013, background): “Maintenance of leaf area, leaf relative water content and photosynthetic capacity are associated with dehydration tolerance of lamina which is based on maintenance of turgor in these tissues by osmotic adjustment (Morgan 1988; Serraj and Sinclair 2002).”
Effects of salt stress on plant growth, stomatal response and solute accumulation of different maize genotypes (2004, background): “The osmotic adjustment in both roots and leaves contribute to the maintenance of water uptake and cell turgor, allowing physiological processes, such as stomatal opening, photosynthesis, and cell expansion (Serraj and Sinclair, 2002).”
Seed Priming with Ascorbic Acid Improves Drought Resistance of Wheat (2013, background): “Proline is one of the most common osmolytes, which helps in promoting water retention and alleviating the negative effect of drought on plants (Serraj and Sinclair 2002).”
Drought Stress and Plant Nutrition (2010, background): “…widely studied in recent years (Sadras and Milroy 1996; Hare et al. 1998; Sánchez 1998; Tardieu and Simonneau 1998; Thomas et al. 2000; Munns 2002; Nogueira and Silva 2002; Serraj and Sinclair 2002; Silva et al. 2003; Valliyodan and Nguyen 2006; Ashraf and Foolad 2007; Silva et al. 2009a, 2009b).”
Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria to improve crop growth in saline soils: a review (2014, background): “One of the most common stress responses in plants is overproduction of different types of compatible organic solutes such as proline and glycine betaine (Serraj and Sinclair 2002).”
Improving salinity tolerance in crop plants: a biotechnological view (2008, background): “The accumulation of high concentration of either inorganic ions or low molecular weight organic solutes regulates osmotic adjustment in plants subjected to salt stress (Serraj and Sinclair 2002; Ashraf and Harris 2004).”
Physiology and molecular biology of stress tolerance in plants (2006, background): “However, not all transgenic plants accumulate sufficient amounts of compatible solutes nor attain the positive trait, particularly in the field (Chen and Murata, 2002; Serraj and Sinclair, 2002).”
Role of proline under changing environments (2012, background): “In response to different stresses plants accumulate large quantities of different types of compatible solutes.(2) Compatible solutes are low molecular weight, highly soluble organic compounds that are usually non-toxic at high cellular concentrations.”
Mechanisms of plant response to salt and drought stress and their alteration by rhizobacteria (2016, background): “Water deficit induces different responses in plants depending on three distinct stage of soil dehydration as reported by Serraj and Sinclair (2002).”
EFFECT OF AZOSPIRILLUM INOCULATION ON MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L.) UNDER DROUGHT STRESS (2013, background): “Soluble proteins: Among the incredible responses of plants to abiotic stresses like drought and salinity, is an enhanced production and accumulation of compatible solutes to osmotically adjust themselves (Serraj & Sinclair, 2002).”
Salt stress in maize: effects, resistance mechanisms, and management. A review (2015, positive): “Osmoregulation is primarily met with the accretion of organic and inorganic solutes under salinity and/or drought to lower water potential without lessening actual water contents (Serraj and Sinclair 2002).”
