Abstract excerpt
Water deficiency causes a dramatic reduction in crop production globally. Breeding crop varieties that are more efficient in their water use is one strategy to overcome this predicament. In this study, a member of the LRR-RLKs family, the Populus nigra × (Populus deltoides × Populus nigra) ERECTA (PdERECTA) gene was cloned. To study the biological functions of PdERECTA, transgenic Arabidopsis plants...
