Article Synopsis
  • Agriculture faces challenges from global changes, especially drought, which limits crop production, evidenced in pea (Pisum sativum) during early reproductive phases.
  • The study analyzed how a water deficit affected plant growth, sugar content, and gene expression at two key stages: embryonic and seed-filling.
  • Results showed significant gene regulation related to water stress in the embryonic stage, indicating a shift in sugar metabolism, highlighting the importance of transcription factors and transporters during drought response and seed development.
