Abstract excerpt
An interesting observation, reported for transgenic plants that have been engineered to overproduce osmolytes, is that they often exhibit impaired growth in the absence of stress. As growth reduction and accumulation of osmolytes both typically result from adaptation, we hypothesized that growth reduction may actually result from osmolyte accumulation. To examine this possibility more closely, intracellular...
