Plant drought stress: effects, mechanisms and management (2011, unknown): “Many studies demonstrate that glycinebetaine plays an important role in enhancing plant tolerance under a range of abiotic stresses including drought (Quan et al., 2004).”
Phytohormones Regulate Accumulation of Osmolytes Under Abiotic Stress (2019, background): “Many reports have documented the role of GB and ethylene in providing tolerance towards cold stress [46,158,159] by scavenging the excess electrons produced in electron transport chains, which suggests linkage between the biosynthesis of GB and endogenous levels of ethylene [119].”
Salt stress in maize: effects, resistance mechanisms, and management. A review (2015, unknown): “Likewise, Quan et al. (2004) introduced the betA gene encoding choline dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli in maize inbred line DH4866 to establish transgenic maize with better capacity for glycine betaine biosynthesis from choline under stress conditions.”
Chilling tolerance in maize: agronomic and physiological approaches (2009, background): “higher photosynthetic rates, accumulated levels of alanine, glutamic acid, glycine, and serine, and better survival rates under chilling (108C) than their wildtype counterparts (Quan et al. 2004).”
Improvement of heat and drought photosynthetic tolerance in wheat by overaccumulation of glycinebetaine (2010, methodology): “The MDA level was assayed according to Quan et al. (2004).”
Improving water use in crop production (2008, background): “…effects on dehydration tolerance have been variable (Huang et al. 2000; Sakamoto & Murata 2002) and as a consequence, recent studies have focused more on their role in chilling and heat stress where consistent positive effects have been noted (Park et al. 2004; Quan et al. 2004; Yang et al. 2005).”
