Journal ArticleDOI
Roles of glycine betaine and proline in improving plant abiotic stress resistance
Muhammad Ashraf,Majid R. Foolad +1 more
TL;DR: In this review article, numerous examples of successful application of these compounds to improve plant stress tolerance are presented and a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of exogenously applied GB and proline is expected to aid their effective utilization in crop production in stress environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat tolerance in plants: An overview
TL;DR: C crop heat tolerance can be enhanced by preconditioning of plants under different environmental stresses or exogenous application of osmoprotectants such as glycinebetaine and proline, and by traditional and contemporary molecular breeding protocols and transgenic approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential biochemical indicators of salinity tolerance in plants
Muhammad Ashraf,P.J.C. Harris +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that although there are a number of promising selection criteria, the complex physiology of salt tolerance and the variation between species make it difficult to identify single criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moringa oleifera: a food plant with multiple medicinal uses
TL;DR: Moringa oleifera Lam (Moringaceae) is a highly valued plant, distributed in many countries of the tropics and subtropics. as mentioned in this paper provides a rich and rare combination of zeatin, quercetin, beta-sitosterol, caffeoylquinic acid and kaempferol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photosynthesis under stressful environments: An overview
Muhammad Ashraf,Philip Harris +1 more
TL;DR: Progress made during the last two decades in producing transgenic lines of different C3 crops with enhanced photosynthetic performance is discussed, which was reached by either the overexpression of C3 enzymes or transcription factors or the incorporation of genes encoding C4 enzymes into C3 plants.
