Participation of Proline in Plant Adaptation to Stress Factors and Its Application in Agrobiotechnology (Review)
2022
Tarchevskiĭ, I. A. (Igorʹ Anatolʹevich) | Egorova, A. M.
The review surveys the data on the role of imino acid proline as a protector of plants from abiotic and biotic stressors. The proline content in cells depends on its synthesis, degradation, export to other cells, synthesis of proline-rich proteins (PRPs), and also its liberation from them by means of proline iminopeptidases. The possibility of using proline in agrobiotechnology to boost plant resistance is illustrated by examples of such achievements afforded with exogenous proline and by development of genetically modified plants with increased levels of endogenous proline and PRPs.
