Abstract excerpt
Drought tolerance in crops often involves trade-offs between water conservation, growth and reproduction. Understanding how water-saving strategies are implemented at physiological and metabolic levels remains critical for improving crop performance under water-limited conditions. Here, we characterise a wheat TILLING mutant, WS1, that exhibits enhanced survival under drought stress. WS1 showed reduced stomatal...
