Abstract excerpt
Hot and dry air (harmattan or xerothermic climate) greatly inhibits plant growth, particularly flowering and seed setting of crops. Little is known about the mechanism of plant response to this extreme environmental stress due to the lack of valuable genetic resource. Here, we report the isolation and characteristics of a unique Arabidopsis mutant, hat1 (harmattan tolerant 1), which shows high tolerance to hot...
