| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for detecting compounds which increase the tolerance of plants in relation to abiotic stressors influencing said plants, 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 harmful substances), by the expression increase of plant-endogenous proteins. The invention also relates to the use of said compounds for increasing plant tolerance in relation to abiotic stressors. |
