Resham Sharma, Renu Bhardwaj, A.K. Thukral, Neha Handa, Ravdeep Kaur and Vinod Kumar
Osmolytes and osmoprotectants have long been identified as pivotal abiotic stress busters because they help plants overcome extremely harsh environmental conditions by constant cellular homeostatic monitoring. This group mainly consists of sugars, polyols, amino acids, and betaines. Together, they shield plants by exercising a number of physiological responses such as membrane integrity strengthening, enzymatic/antioxidant activity balancing, and water adjustments under various abiotic stresses (e.g., temperature fluctuations, water deficit, salinity, heavy metals) and, ...
