Sažetak
The production of tolerant and resistant plants via plant biotechnology has the potential to improve agriculture. In the paper we discuss environmental stresses and their many forms and the differences in plant species in their sensitivity and response to some abiotic stresses. Biochemical studies have revealed similarities in processes induced by stress thad lead to the accumulation of metabolites, including nitrogen-containing compounds (proline, other amino acids, polyamines, antifreeze proteins) and hydroxyl compounds (sucrose, poliols, polyamines, trehalose). We show through several examples (drought tolerance in tobacco, salt tolerance in Arabidopsis) that genetic engineering in model plants can greatly increase the plant's ability to survive stress.
