Comparative Physiological, Biochemical, and Leaf Proteome Responses of Contrasting Wheat Varieties to Drought Stress. Plants, 13(19), Article 2797. https://doi.org/10.3390/plants13192797

Drought stress severely affects crop productivity and threatens food security. As current trends of global warming are predicted to exacerbate droughts, developing drought-resilient crops becomes urgent. Here, we used the drought-tolerant (BW35695) a...

Regulation of Proline Accumulation and Protein Secretion in Sorghum under Combined Osmotic and Heat Stress. (2024)
Journal Article
Ngwenya, S. P., Moloi, S. J., Shargie, N. G., Brown, A. P., Chivasa, S., & Ngara, R. (2024). Regulation of Proline Accumulation and Protein Secretion in Sorghum under Combined Osmotic and Heat Stress. Plants, 13(13), Article 1874. https://doi.org/10.3390/plants13131874

Plants reprogramme their proteome to alter cellular metabolism for effective stress adaptation. Intracellular proteomic responses have been extensively studied, and the extracellular matrix stands as a key hub where peptide signals are generated/proc...

Carbon Monoxide Alleviates Salt-Induced Oxidative Damage in Sorghum bicolor by Inducing the Expression of Proline Biosynthesis and Antioxidant Genes (2024)
Journal Article
Ikebudu, V. C., Nkuna, M., Ndou, N., Ajayi, R. F., Chivasa, S., Cornish, K., & Mulaudzi, T. (2024). Carbon Monoxide Alleviates Salt-Induced Oxidative Damage in Sorghum bicolor by Inducing the Expression of Proline Biosynthesis and Antioxidant Genes. Plants, 13(6), Article 782. https://doi.org/10.3390/plants13060782

Crop growth and yield are affected by salinity, which causes oxidative damage to plant cells. Plants respond to salinity by maintaining cellular osmotic balance, regulating ion transport, and enhancing the expression of stress-responsive genes, there...
