The continuing conundrum of the LEA proteins (2007, background): “Such transgenic plants were able to maintain higher relative water content in their leaves than non-transgenic controls and suffered less electrolyte leakage from cells (Babu et al. 2004; Rohila et al. 2002), suggesting that the HVA1 protein might protect cell membranes from injury during drought.”

Drought resistance, water-use efficiency, and yield potential-are they compatible, dissonant, or mutually exclusive? (2005, background): “One can only guess that some of the associations listed in Table 1 might be supported by such protective roles of OA (e.g. Chandra Babu et al. 2004).”
Transgenic Plants for Abiotic Stress Resistance (2010, background): “It was found thatHVA1 did not function as an osmolyte and that membrane protection was the mechanism, which inferred drought resistance in rice plants (Chandra Babu et al. 2004).”

Genetic engineering and breeding of drought-resistant crops. (2014, background): “Overexpression of barley HVA1 (encoding a LEA protein) in rice and wheat led to improved growth performance and WUE under drought stress conditions, and the increased DR of HVA1-overexpressing transgenic wheat has been verified in several field trials (7, 104).”
