Plants have developed various mechanisms to protect themselves from environmental stresses like drought, salinity and extreme temperatures. One such protective mechanism is accumulation of compatible solutes like proline, glycine betaine and trehalose which help in osmoregulation and protection of cellular structures under stress conditions. Compatible solutes act as molecular chaperones and help stabilize proteins and membranes during stress.
