Abstract
Glycine betaine is an amphiphilic compound with two ends, hydrophobic positive end and a hydrophilic negative end. Glycine betaine is electrically neutral over a wide range of pH values. Glycine betaine compound is the most effective solute to improve drought and salinity tolerance in higher plants. Glycine betaine counteracts adverse consequences resulting from abiotic elements, the denaturation, and inactivation of proteins.
