Abstract excerpt
Plants orchestrate tissue-specific metabolic responses to osmotic stress, a major determinant of drought tolerance and crop productivity. Yet how leaf and root responses are coordinated to confer tolerance remains poorly understood. Here we show that drought tolerance in wheat is associated with a reproducible architectural asymmetry between tissue-level metabolomic correlation networks under controlled osmotic...
