Abstract: Plants cannot move, so they must endure abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and extreme temperatures. These stressors greatly limit the distribution of plants, alter their growth and development, and reduce crop productivity. Recent progress in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the responses of plants to abiotic stresses emphasizes their multilevel nature; multiple processes are involved, including sensing, signalling, transcription, transcript processing, translation and post-translational protein modifications. This improved knowledge can be used to boost crop productivity and agricultural sustainability through genetic, chemical and microbial approaches.

Thermomorphogenesis of the <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> root: Flexible cell division, constrained elongation, and the role of cryptochrome
Maura J. Zimmermann,Vikram Jathar,Tobias I. Baskin +2 more
TL;DR: Among the 34 lines, cell production rate varied extensively and was associated only weakly with root growth rate; in contrast, parameters relating to elongation were stable, consistent with models of root growth that invoke cell non-autonomous regulation for establishing boundaries between meristem, elongation zone, and mature zone.

TL;DR: DNA methylation profiling of contrasting cassava genotypes under water deficit reveals differential methylation patterns and potential targets for crop improvement.
Enhancement of Photosynthesis and Alleviation of Abiotic Stress in Plants through Bovine Serum Albumin-Capped Gold Nanoclusters
Yong Yan,Liping Sun,Sichen Wu,Fan Wang,Sheng Cheng,Xiaojing Ma +5 more
TL;DR: Researchers developed bovine serum albumin-capped gold nanoclusters that enhance photosynthesis and alleviate abiotic stress in plants by expanding light-harvesting spectrum and scavenging reactive oxygen species, with potential for agricultural applications.
Overexpression of EgrZFP6 from Eucalyptus grandis increases ROS levels by downregulating photosynthesis in plants
Longjun Cheng,Shuang Zhao,Fangyan Li,Xiaoxiang Ni,Ning Yang,Jianfeng Yu,Xiaofei Wang +6 more
TL;DR: The EgrZFP6 gene was shown to be considerably elevated in the leaves of Eucalyptus grandis seedlings in the current study when they were subjected to a variety of abiotic stimuli, including heat, salinity, cold, and drought.

Salt and drought stress signal transduction in plants
TL;DR: Salt and drought stress signal transduction consists of ionic and osmotic homeostasis signaling pathways, detoxification (i.e., damage control and repair) response pathways, and pathways for growth regulation.
Abiotic Stress Signaling and Responses in Plants
TL;DR: Core stress-signaling pathways involve protein kinases related to the yeast SNF1 and mammalian AMPK, suggesting that stress signaling in plants evolved from energy sensing.

Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria.
TL;DR: This review restricts itself to bacteria that are derived from and exert this effect on the root and generally designated as PGPR (plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria), which can be direct or indirect in their effects on plant growth.

PLANT COLD ACCLIMATION: Freezing Tolerance Genes and Regulatory Mechanisms
Michael F. Thomashow
- 01 Jun 1999
TL;DR: This review of recent advances in determining the nature and function of genes with roles in freezing tolerance and the mechanisms involved in low temperature gene regulation and signal transduction concludes that cold acclimation includes the expression of certain cold-induced genes that function to stabilize membranes against freeze-induced injury.
Two transcription factors, DREB1 and DREB2, with an EREBP/AP2 DNA binding domain separate two cellular signal transduction pathways in drought- and low-temperature-responsive gene expression, respectively, in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: Overexpression of the DREB1A cDNA in transgenic Arabidopsis plants not only induced strong expression of the target genes under unstressed conditions but also caused dwarfed phenotypes in the transgenic plants, and revealed freezing and dehydration tolerance.
