Betaines stand out for helping overcome abiotic stress situations in all of the physiological phases of plants. Numerous works describe an increase in the concentration of betaines in plants due to situations of stress caused by drought, high temperatures, oxidative environments, or high salinity. In addition, under non-stressful conditions, it has been detected that a higher concentration of betaines produces larger fruits, greater number of seeds and flowers, and leaves with greater surface area.
