Starch synthase activity and heat shock protein in relation to thermal tolerance of developing wheat grains
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that high temperature tolerance of wheat was associated with higher catalytic efficiency (Vmax/Km) of SSS at elevated temperature and higher content of heat shock protein (HSP 100).

High temperature effect on grain growth in wheat cultivars : An evaluation of responses
TL;DR: It appears that late sowing of wheat by end of December can bring down the grain yield by 30-40% compared to November sowing, which could be one of the reasons for overall decline in wheat productivity.

TL;DR: In this paper, quantitative expression analysis was made using quantitative PCR for seven drought associated transcripts in four clones of Hevea with varying levels of drought tolerance, including Mitogen Activated Protein (MAP) kinase, Myeloblastosis (Myb) transcription factor, C-repeat responsive element/Dehydration Responsive Element (CRT/DRE) binding factor and Nuclear Factor Y subunit A (NFYA) showed a positive association with drought tolerance.

Identification and validation of cold responsive microRNAs of Hevea brasiliensis using high throughput sequencing
TL;DR: The possibility of employing these miRNAs as markers for cold tolerance after validation in more number of genotypes with varying levels of cold tolerance is suggested.

Engineering for biosynthesis of ectoine (2-methyl 4-carboxy tetrahydro pyrimidine) in tobacco chloroplasts leads to accumulation of ectoine and enhanced salinity tolerance
TL;DR: Targeting the biosynthesis of ectoine to chloroplasts confers salinity and temperature stress tolerance on the transgenic plants and may also be a viable alternative for bulk production of this compound.
