Types of Abiotic Stress | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the types of abiotic stress. Extreme environmental conditions such as drought, salinity and freezing temperature cause adverse effect on the growth and productivity of crop plants. The temperature (heat, chilling and freezing), drought and salinity stress together represent abiotic stress. Exposure of plants in general to these abiotic stresses is inevitable in nature [...]

Physiology of Cold Stress on Plants | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the physiology of cold stress on plants. Plants produce number of proteins in response to cold and freezing temperature. More than 54 cold-inducible genes have been identified using cDNA microarray technology. In the process of various stress inducible gene expression, nearly 10% of the drought inducible genes are also induced by cold-stress indicating [...]

Strategies for Stress-Tolerant Plant | Genetics

In this article we will discus about the strategies for stress-tolerant plant. Several microorganisms have been used as a model system to characterize stress in­duced genes. It is because they are equipped with wide array of stress relieving genes. Recently, attention has been focused towards higher plants in search of stress tolerance genes and suc­cessful attempt to introduce these genes [...]
