Abstract

Environmental stimuli including abiotic stresses, most notably salinity, drought, and cold stress greatly impact the growth, development, productivity, and disposal of plants worldwide. It has been calculated that two-thirds of the sustainable crop productivity are routinely facing a great challenge due to the unfavorable environmental factors by reducing the potential yield. There is a substantial amount of evidence to support that polyamines (PAs) are highly accumulated under abiotic stresses. PAs have a low molecular weight, are positively charged at physiological pH, and have a high affinity for nucleic acids and membrane phospholipids, which are found in all living cells. The most frequently used putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spm), and spermine (Spm) are well-known PAs that play a significant role in cell growth and development, leaf senescence, embryogenesis, and modulating plant tolerance to a wide range of abiotic stresses. These studies are highlights to dissever the action of polyamines mechanism in order to develop new strategies to enhance plant continuity in unfavorable environmental conditions.
