Glycine Betaine Enhances Rice Salt Tolerance

Enhancement of Plant Growth, Chemical Composition and Secondary Metabolites of Essential Oil of Salt-Stressed Coriander (Coriandrum Sativum L.) Plants Using Selenium, Nano-Selenium, and Glycine Betaine

“…Generally, it could be pointed out that exogenous glycine betaine application might counteract the negative effects of high salinity on plant growth by maintaining osmotic adjustment (Ashraf and Foolad, 2007), and stabilizing many functions in the plants' cells, such as the oxygen-evolving PS-II complex (Harinasut et al, 1996), membranes quaternary structures of complex proteins (Murata et al, 1992) and enzymes such as rubisco. Habib et al (2012) reported that the growth improvement due to glycine betaine could be related to high accumulation of K, Ca and tissue glycine betaine, maintenance of high K/Na ratio and 157 low accumulation of Na and Cl in the leaves.…”

Effects of High Night Temperature on Crop Physiology and Productivity: Plant Growth Regulators Provide a Management Option

“…It regulates signal transduction and ion homeostasis by affecting MAP kinases, and expression of many genes related to signal transduction (John, 2002). Exogenous application of GB improved growth, survival and induced stress tolerance in many crop species (Diaz-Zorita et al, 2001;Harinasut et al, 1996;Rajasekaran et al, 1997) and also increased total antioxidant capacity and antioxidant enzyme activities (Farooq et al, 2008a;Mohammed & Tarpley, 2009b). Salicylic acid is an endogenous plant growth regulator of phenolic nature and is considered to be a potent plant hormone because of its diverse regulatory roles in plant metabolism (Raskin, 1992).…”
