• Plant Responses to Salt Stress: Adaptive Mechanisms (2017, background): “Several compounds that work in the osmotic regulation of plants are well known: carbohydrates (sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, glycerol, arabinitol, pinitol) [162]; nitrogen compounds (proteins, betaine, glutamate, aspartate, glycine, proline, choline, putrescine, 4-gamma aminobutiric acid) [163]; and ”
• Comparative effects of drought, salt, heavy metal and heat stresses on gamma-aminobutryric acid levels of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) (2009, background): “…Snedden et al. 1995), protection against oxidative stress (Bouche et al. 2003; Fait et al. 2006), biotic defense (Mc Lean et al. 2003; Mac Gregor et al. 2003), osmoregulation (Schwacke et al. 1999) and as a signaling molecule (Kinnersley and Turano 2000; Bouche et al. 2003; Bouche and Fromm 2004).”
• Mitigation of Drought Stress Damage by Exogenous Application of a Non-Protein Amino Acid γ– Aminobutyric Acid on Perennial Ryegrass (2013, background): “Several studies reported that GABA often rapidly accumulates in plants in response to abiotic and biotic stresses including drought, salt, wounding, hypoxia, heat shock, and pathogen infection (Fait et al., 2005; Kinnersley and Turano, 2000; Shelp et al., 1999).”
• Ascophyllum nodosum-based algal extracts act as enhancers of growth, fruit quality, and adaptation to stress in salinized tomato plants (2018, background): “Similarly, γ- aminobutyric acid (GABA) is accumulated at high levels in response to different environmental stresses, and this finding is consistent with the presumed role of GABA in stress mitigation against abiotic stresses (Kinnersley and Turano 2000; Renault et al. 2010; Woodrow et al. 2017).”
• Drought, salt, and temperature stress-induced metabolic rearrangements and regulatory networks (2012, neutral): “The non-protein amino acid c-aminobutyric acid (GABA) rapidly accumulates to high levels under different adverse environmental conditions (Shelp et al., 1999; Rhodes et al., 1986; Kinnersley and Turano, 2000; Kaplan and Guy, 2004; Kempa et al., 2008; Renault et al., 2010).”
• The use of metabolomics to dissect plant responses to abiotic stresses (2012, background): “GABA is another metabolite discussed in a context of stress response since it is largely and rapidly produced in response to biotic and abiotic stresses [138–140].”
