ACTIVE INGREDIENTS FOR INCREASING STRESS DEFENSE IN PLANTS TO ABIOTIC STRESS, AND METHOD OF FINDING THEM

摘要

The invention relates to the methods of finding compounds which increase the tolerance of plants to abiotic stress factors acting on said plants, such as, for example, temperature (such as cold, frost or heat), water (such as dryness, drought or anoxia), or chemical load (such as lack or excess of mineral salts, heavy metals, gaseous noxious substances), by increasing the expression of plant-endogenous proteins. The invention also relates to the use of said compounds for increasing plant tolerance to abiotic stress factors.
