Abstract excerpt
Osmotic stress-induced accumulation of proline, an important protective osmolyte in higher plants, is dependent on the expression of delta1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase (P5CS) and proline dehydrogenase (PDH) enzymes that catalyze the rate-limiting steps of proline biosynthesis and degradation, respectively. Proline metabolism is modulated by differential regulation of organ specific expression of PDH and...
