Drought and high salinity are the most important abiotic factors limiting plant development, growth, and crop productivity in agriculture (Munns and Tester 2008, Sengupta and Majumder 2009, Zhu 2002). As sessile organisms, plants are frequently exposed to drought and high salinity conditions, which alter water potential and cause osmotic stress, leading to serious damage to plant tissues (Bartels and Sunkar 2005, Boudsocq and Lauriere 2005). During exposure to water stress, plants display many physiological changes, such as reduction of water content, closure of stomata, and decreased cell enlargement and growth. In addition, severe and continuous water stress in plants causes the cessation of photosynthesis and disturbance of metabolism, and finally results in death (Nath et al. 2005, Shao et al. 2008). To adapt to these abiotic stress conditions, plants show a variety of responses, including the accumulation of abscisic acid (ABA) and expression of a large number of stress-related proteins (Krasensky and Jonak 2012, Lee and Luan 2012, Skriver and Mundy 1990, Stewart and Lee 1974). Although the cellular and molecular responses to environmental stress are well studied (Hasegawa et al. 2000, Thomashow 1999), the mechanisms underlying the functional modifications caused by osmotic stress are yet to be clarified, because of the complexity at the cellular level as well as at the whole plant level (Ashraf and Harris 2004, Flowers 2004, Foolad et al. 2003a, 2003b, Xiong et al. 2002).
