Influence of long-term drought stress on osmolyte accumulation in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) plants (2008, background): “During dehydration, a high level of inorganic and organic ions in vacuoles was compensated by the accumulation of non-toxic osmotically active solutes in cytosol (Rathinasabapathi 2000; Chaves et al. 2003).”
Physiology and molecular biology of stress tolerance in plants (2006, background): “…plant salt tolerance, much effort has been made in the field of oxidative stress responses, regulation of ion homeostasis, signaling pathways and, especially osmoprotectant synthesis (Bohnert and Shen, 1999, Rathinasabapathi 2000, Yoshida, 2002, Sakamoto and Murata, 2000, Apse and Blumwald, 2002).”
Osmolyte accumulation: can it really help increase crop yield under drought conditions? (2002, background): “1999; Rathinasabapathi, 2000).”
Improvement of salinity stress tolerance in rice: Challenges and opportunities (2016, background): “Glycine betaine, a quaternary ammonium compound that occurs naturally in a wide range of plants, animals and microorganisms [33] is also a very effective compatible solute [34,35].”
Abiotic Stress in Plants and Metabolic Responses (2013, background): “Comparable extensive work has been done for other compatible solutes such as γ-aminobu‐ tyric acid [59], glycine betaine [60], trehalose [61], mannitol, and sorbitol [36]; these solutes are efficient protectors against some abiotic stressors.”
Effects of Salt Stress on Plant Growth, Nutrient Partitioning, Chlorophyll Content, Leaf Relative Water Content, Accumulation of Osmolytes and Antioxidant Compounds in Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Cultivars (2017, background): “…tolerance to environmental stresses, through metabolic engineering of compatible solutes, have shown that increases in SS and/or other osmolytes provide optimism to increase plant tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and cold (Cusido et al., 1987; Rathinasabapathi, 2000).”
Mitigation of Drought Stress Damage by Exogenous Application of a Non-Protein Amino Acid γ– Aminobutyric Acid on Perennial Ryegrass (2013, background): “Osmolyte accumulation in plant cells results in maintenance of cell turgor pressure and also protects cell membranes, protein, and metabolic machinery from cell dehydration (Hare et al., 1998; Ingram and Bartels, 1996; Rathinasabapathi, 2000).”
Why does salinity pose such a difficult problem for plant breeders (2005, background): “These are organic compounds, such as glycinebetaine, mannitol and proline, which do not damage (and probably protect) the metabolism (Pollard and Wyn, 1979; Rathinasabapathi, 2000 ).”
Recent Advances in Genetics of Salt Tolerance in Tomato (2004, background): “Compatible solutes may also contribute to stress tolerance through other functions such as protection of enzyme and membrane structure and scavenging of radical oxygen species (Shen et al., 1997; Bohnert and Shen, 1999; Rathinasabapathi, 2000).”
Effect of various drought stresses and subsequent recovery on proline, total soluble sugar and starch metabolisms in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties (2019, background): “It is believed that study of sugar under various abiotic stresses is an emerging field of research, and it could play pivotal role in tolerance against abiotic stresses by modulating several physiological processes (Rathinasabapathi, 2000).”
Osmoregulation in Plants: Implications for Agriculture1 (2001, background): “The diverse function roles of osmoprotectants have made them favorite tools for genetic engineering improved osmotic stress tolerance (see Bohnert and Sheveleva, 1998; Hare et al., 1998; Nelson et al., 1998; Smirnoff, 1998; Nuccio et al., 1999; Bohnert and Shen, 1999; Sakamoto and Murata, 2000; Rath”
