Melatonin thus could represent a new approach to the physiological control of stress and stress-related infectious diseases (48). 

The use of protoplasts in studies of stress physiology and biochemistry expands the advantages of cell culture systems discussed in the preceding sections. Additional applications are related to the fusion of protoplasts. Intraspecifie and interspecific protoplast fusion greatly enhance genetic variability of the fused protoplasts (Kumar Cocking, 1987). The resulting somatic hybrids provide cells which can be used for selection of specific traits (e.g. environmental stress tolerance) provided by one or both donor cells and for basic studies on cytoplasmic and nuclear inheritance of desired characteristics. 

Adrenal insufficiency generally refers to the inability of the adrenal glands to produce adequate amounts of cortisol for normal physiologic functioning or in times of stress. The...

As regards their physiological roles, many polyphenols (because of their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties) are directly involved in the response of plants to various types of stress (Lopcz-Nicolas and others 2006 Lopez-Nicolas and Garcia-Carmona 2008).
