- Guava is experiencing a decline in production due to drought stress, and the study explored the drought tolerance of two cultivars, "Gola" and "Surahi."
- The "Surahi" cultivar showed better drought resistance, with increased water use efficiency and heightened enzyme activity (peroxidase and catalase) compared to "Gola."
- The differential expression of a higher number of Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) in "Surahi" suggests that its genetic makeup supports stronger morphophysiological responses to drought stress.
