Improvement of heat and drought photosynthetic tolerance in wheat by overaccumulation of glycinebetaine (2010, background): “…data also suggested that overaccumulation of GB can enhance the tolerance of PSII and ATPase activities to drought and heat stress and protect the structures of chloroplast and thylakoid from the damage by stress (Wang et al. 2010a, b); this was consistent with other reports (Mamedov et al. 1993).”
Roles of glycine betaine in mitigating deleterious effect of salt stress on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) (2015, background): “Wang et al. (2010) reported that exogenous GB treatments induced increase of GB itself and other metabolites (e.g. soluble sugars and proline) and decreased the osmotic potential of the plant cell, enhancing the inflow of water into the plant cells, resulting in opening stomata and ultimately…”
Drought Stress in Wheat during Flowering and Grain-filling Periods (2014, background): “Wang et al. (2010b) reported increased GB production in transgenic wheat augmented plant tolerance by improving photosynthesis; GB improves plant water balance through better OA.”
