Abstract excerpt
Drought is one of the most deleterious environmental conditions affecting crop growth and productivity. Here we report the important roles of a nuclear-encoded chloroplast protein, PsbP Domain Protein 5 (PPD5), in drought resistance in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). From a forward genetic screen, a drought-resistant mutant named ppd5-2 was identified, which has a knockout mutation in PPD5 The ppd5 mutants...
