Plant Responses to Simultaneous Biotic and Abiotic Stress: Molecular Mechanisms (2014, background): “This component of induced resistance can be achieved through specific chemical stimuli like the resistance inducers BABA (beta-aminobutyric acid) or BTH (benzothiadiazole) [43,44], genetic manipulation of genes and proteins [45] or by previous contact with a pathogen [46].”

Role of DREBs in regulation of abiotic stress responses in plants. (2011, background): “Microarray analysis data in Arabidopsis and in several other plants reveal that there are several pathways that independently respond to abiotic stress (in both an ABA dependent and an ABA-independent manner), thus forming a highly complex gene network (Fowler and Thomashow, 2002; Umezawa et al., 20”
An insight into the drought stress induced alterations in plants (2011, background): “Most of these TFs fall into several large TF families, such as APETALA type 2 / ethylene responsive factors (AP2/ ERF), basic region/leucine zipper motif (bZIP), NAM/ATAF/CUC transcription factor (NAC), myeloblastosis (MYB), myelocytomatosis (MYC), Cys2His2 zinc-finger proteins (ZFP) and WRKY domain”
Role of sugars, amino acids and organic acids in improving plant abiotic stress tolerance (2020, background): “The malic acid increased the drought tolerance was found in different plant species such as spear grass, cotton and tropical grasses (Cutler et al., 1977; Ford & Wilson, 1981; Umezawa et al., 2006).”
