Engineering for Drought Tolerance in Horticultural and Ornamental Plants

摘要: Abstract Drought is one of the major factors limiting plant growth and productivity. Plant adaptation to drought dependent on molecular networks for perception, signal transduction, expression a subset genes production metabolites that protect maintain structure cellular components. In general, response pathways can be classified into two categories: stress hormone abscisic acid (ABA) other ABA-independent. Many in these have been identified, thereby providing guidance choosing engineering tolerance. The review highlights mediate tolerance, discusses lessons learned from tolerance model plants, such as Arabidopsis, rice tobacco. Because success not only protein coding regions but also appropriate promoters, this article reviews promoters are crucial s...
