A Functional Genomic Perspective on Drought Signaling and its Crosstalk with Phytohormone-mediated Signalling Pathways in Plants

摘要

Introduction: Drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses that negatively influence crop performance and productivity. Plants acclimatize to drought stress conditions through altered molecular, biochemical and physiological responses. Gene and/or protein expression and regulation are thought to be modulated upon stress perception and signal transduction for providing requisite endurance to plants.
