Functional Relevance of Citrulline in the Vegetative Tissues of Watermelon During Abiotic Stresses
A non-protein amino acid, citrulline, is a compatible solute involved in the maintenance of cellular osmolarity during abiotic stresses. Despite its significance, a coherent model indicating the role of citrulline during stress conditions has not yet emerged. We have used watermelon, naturally rich...
