Progress in Synthesis and Metabolism of Proline and Its Relationship with Osmotolerance of Plants
脯氨酸代谢与植物抗渗透胁迫的研究进展

Proline is thought to be a compatible osmolyte which can help plants and bacteria to tolerate osmotic stress. In recent years, much progress of proline research has been achieved on its synthesis and metabolism, its content in plants affected by osmotic stress and ABA, the important enzymes in its synthesis and metabolism, its location and transportation in plant cells and its relationship with osmotic tolerance of plants. Such aspects were reviewed in this paper.
