Plants develop various strategies to stand healthy against these stress factors. The accumulation of proline (Pro) is one of the striking metabolic responses of plants to salt and drought stress. Pro biosynthesis and signalling contribute to the redox balance of cell under normal and stressful conditions. However, literature is meager on the sustainable strategies potentially fit for modulating Pro biosynthesis and production in stressed plants. Considering the recent literature, this paper in its first part overviews Pro biosynthesis and transport in plants and also briefly highlights the significance of Pro in plant responses to salt and drought stress. Secondly, this paper discusses mechanisms underlying the regulation of Pro metabolism in salt and drought-exposed plant via phytohormones, mineral nutrients and transgenic approaches. The outcome of the studies may give new opportunities in modulating Pro metabolism for improving plant tolerance to salt and drought stress and benefit sustainable agriculture. date: 2017-06 date_type: published publication: Plant Physiology and Biochemistry volume: 115 publisher: Elsevier pagerange: 126-140 id_number: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2017.03.018 refereed: TRUE issn: 0981-9428 official_url: http://doi.org/10.1016/j.plaphy.2017.03.018 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?q=Approaches+in+modulating+proline+metabolism+in+plants+for+salt+and+drought+stress+tolerance%3A+Phytohormones%2C+mineral+nutrients+and+transgenics&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5 related_url_type: pub citation: Per, T S and Khan, N A and Reddy, P S and Masood, A and Hasanuzzaman, M and Khan, M I R and Anjum, N A (2017) Approaches in modulating proline metabolism in plants for salt and drought stress tolerance: Phytohormones, mineral nutrients and transgenics.
