drought-tolerance

2 articles

Drought-tolerance is the ability of plants to maintain productivity during arid conditions through adaptive mechanisms including desiccation tolerance, detoxification, and xylem repair. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for plant science because it enables the development of crop varieties capable of sustaining yields under water stress. This research addresses a pressing global challenge at the intersection of plant physiology, evolution, and agricultural sustainability.
