Expression of a Dehydrin from the Polar Plant Cerastium arcticum in Transgenic Tobacco
Water scarcity induced by drought, temperature, and salinity has plagued agricultural sustainability in recent years with unprecedented revenue losses, raising concerns for worldwide food security. Recent studies have revealed unique botanical response mechanisms to combat water related stress, name...
