Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria: drought stress alleviators to ameliorate crop production in drylands (2015, background): “Production ofheat-shock proteins (HSPs), (Berjak 2006), dehydrins (Timmusk andWagner 1999) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (Ryu 2004) have been reported to impart drought tolerance to plants.”
Physiology of Desiccation-Sensitive (Recalcitrant) Seeds and the Implications for Cryopreservation (2013, background): “…or concomitant with maturation drying, the seeds acquire desiccation tolerance, and there are several protective processes and mechanisms that have been implicated in the acquisition of desiccation tolerance (reviewed by Pammenter and Berjak 1999; Berjak and Pammenter 2004, 2008; Berjak 2006).”
Cryopreservation of Phytodiversity: A Critical Appraisal of Theory & Practice (2008, background): “Intermediate seeds are classified on their longevity in storage and hydration status and they occupy different positions on a continuum between true recalcitrance and orthodoxy ( Berjak, 2006 ; Berjak and Pammenter, 1994 , 2008 ).”
Can catalase and exopolysaccharides producing rhizobia ameliorate drought stress in wheat (2014, background): “Different stress ameliorating and plant growth improving mechanisms of rhizobia have been observed including production of chaperons and sugars (Berjak, 2006), synthesis of stress enzyme 1aminocyclopropane 1-carboxylic acid (Zahir et al.”
The continuing conundrum of the LEA proteins (2007, background): “2003; Wise and Tunnacliffe 2004), perhaps by increasing the tensile strength of cytoplasmic glasses, an idea which has been amplified eloquently by Berjak (2006). To date, using confocal microscopy, we have not observed gross structural reorganisation in the protein AavLEA1 when expressed in mammali”
An overview of mechanisms of desiccation tolerance in selected angiosperm resurrection plants (2007, unknown): “Typical water replacement molecules include sugars, particularly sucrose together with oligosaccharides (reviewed e.g. in Scott 2000; Berjak 2006), hydrophilic proteins, particularly late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins (reviewed e.g. by Mwtisha et al. 2006) and small heat shock proteins…”
