Item Metadata only Grapevine growth of shoots and fruit linearly correlate with water stress indices based on root-weighted soil matric potential(Australian Society of Viticulture & Oenology, 1995) Stevens, R. M.; Harvey, G.; Aspinall, DonItem Metadata only Physiological significance of proline and glysinebetaine: Maintaining photosynthesis during NaCl stress in wheat(1997) Rajasekaran, L. R.; Kriedemann, P. E.; Aspinall, Don; Paleg, Leslie GodellExperiments on the physiological significance of accumulation of proline and glycinebetaine (GB) in sustaining photosynthesis during salt stress in wheat in vivo showed that pre-treatment with GB, but not proline, alleviated NaCl-induced stomatal and non-stomatal inhibition of photosynthesis completely. A permeating and non-dissociating osmoticum, 3-orthomethyl-glucopyranose, also alleviated NaCl-induced perturbations of photosynthesis, suggesting that GB may work by maintaining chloroplast volume and not by specific effects on photosynthetic processes.
