Abiotic Stress Response in Plants - Physiological, Biochemical and Genetic Perspectives

TL;DR: This review provides a broad overview of recent advances in cellular protein research with regards to heavy metal tolerance in plants and discusses how plants maintain functional and healthy proteomes for survival under such capricious surroundings.

TL;DR: In this article, AtHD1 expression and deacetylation profiles were associated with various developmental abnormalities, including early senescence, ectopic expression of silenced genes, suppression of apical dominance, homeotic changes, heterochronic shift toward juvenility, flower defects, and male and female sterility.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the effects of ENPs on photosystems and the mechanisms of generation/scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in higher plants, including catalase (CAT), guaiacol peroxidase (GPOX), ascorbate peroxide (APOX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), and dehydroascorbate reductases (DHAR) are discussed.

TL;DR: The growing interest in herbs and their ability to offer economical uses is a part of the movement towards greener economics and life styles, and attention should be paid to the sustainable forms of production and utilization.

TL;DR: The physiological and molecular mechanisms of tolerance to osmotic and ionic components of salinity stress are reviewed at the cellular, organ, and whole-plant level and the role of the HKT gene family in Na(+) exclusion from leaves is increasing.

TL;DR: The mechanisms of ROS generation and removal in plants during development and under biotic and abiotic stress conditions are described and the possible functions and mechanisms for ROS sensing and signaling in plants are compared with those in animals and yeast.

TL;DR: The surface of nucleosomes is studded with a multiplicity of modifications that can dictate the higher-order chromatin structure in which DNA is packaged and can orchestrate the ordered recruitment of enzyme complexes to manipulate DNA.
