Photoinhibition of photosystem II under environmental stress. (2007, background): “The resultant transgenic plants synthesized and accumulated betaine and, in addition, they exhibited enhanced tolerance to various environmental stresses, such as high salt, high and low temperatures, and freezing [86 – 95].”
Exploring the Temperature-Stress Metabolome of Arabidopsis1[w] (2004, background): “This may explain why attempts to engineer overproduction of a single compatible solute compound have not produced plants with high levels of stress tolerance (Chen and Murata, 2002).”
Exogenous proline induces soluble sugar accumulation and alleviates drought stress effects on photosystem II functioning of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves (2011, background): “Pro may serve to protect membrane structure (Chen and Murata 2002), scavenge ROS (Hong et al.”
Advances in Drought Resistance of Rice (2009, background): “The introduction of genes synthesizing glycinebetaine (GB) into nonaccumulators of GB proved effective in increasing resistance to various abiotic stresses ( Sakamoto and Murata, 2002 ; Chen and Murata, 2002 ; Kumar et al.”
Recent molecular advances to combat abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants (2011, background): “On the other hand, some stress responsive genes may share the same transcription factors, as indicated by the significant overlap of the geneexpression profiles that are induced in response to different stresses (Seki et al., 2001; Chen and Murata 2002).”
Recent advances in salt stress biology - a review (2008, result): “This point was also raised by Bohnert and Shen (1999) and further supported by the results of Alia et al. (1999).”
General mechanisms of drought response and their application in drought resistance improvement in plants (2014, background): “Accumulation of osmoprotectants (such as trehalose, betaine, and proline) is a widespread adaptive strategy for plants to retain the water potential, cell turgor, and membrane stability to avoid drought stress-induced damage [197].”
Variation in Salt Tolerance of Wheat Cultivars: Role of Glycinebetaine and Ethylene (2012, background): “It is reiterated that synthesis of GB requires methyl group donated by SAM, a precursor of ethylene (Chen and Murata, 2002), and it is likely that ethylene is also involved in GB-mediated tolerance.”
Phytohormones Regulate Accumulation of Osmolytes Under Abiotic Stress (2019, background): “The accumulation of GB has been reported to occur maximally in chloroplasts of young leaves [19,122].”
Drought stress induced changes in some organic substances in nodules and other plant parts of two potential legumes differing in salt tolerance (2005, background): “Of the many quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) functioning as effective compatible osmolytes in plants subjected to salt or drought stress, glycine betaine occurs widely in plants (Chen and Murata, 2002).”
Induction of Heat Stress Tolerance in Barley Seedlings by Pre-Sowing Seed Treatment with Glycinebetaine (2005, background): “Chen and Murata (2002) reported that as a result of metabolic engineering of the cox gene 13 lmol GB g 1, dry weight, was sufficient to induce drought tolerance in Brassica napus.”
Legumes in the reclamation of marginal soils, from cultivar and inoculant selection to transgenic approaches (2011, background): “In order to explain the effect of compatible solutes, it is suggested that these molecules induce an osmotic adjustment, inducing a decrease in osmotic potential to allow an increase in water absorption and a re-establishment of intracellular salt concentration (Chen and Murata 2002).”
