Plant Responses to Drought Stress | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the plant responses to drought stress. With the exception of flooding, the major drought stresses result in water-deficit stress. The stressed plants exhibit striking responses by producing plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA), which plays an important role in tolerance against drought. Abscisic acid can induce the expres­sion of stress relieving genes. More than [...]
