Natural variation and genetic constraints on drought tolerance.
Current opinion in plant biology - 1 Jun 2013
Juenger Thomas E
Abstract excerpt
Drought is a central abiotic stress for both natural plant populations and agricultural crops. Substantial natural genetic variation in drought resistance traits has been identified in plant populations, crop species, and laboratory model systems. In particular, studies in Arabidopsis thaliana have discovered variation in a number of key physiological traits involved in plant-water relations that may underlie...
