Co-expression of stress-responsive regulatory genes, and associated with resistant-traits improves drought adaptation in transgenic groundnut ( l.) plants.

Groundnut, cultivated under rain-fed conditions is prone to yield losses due to intermittent drought stress. Drought tolerance is a complex phenomenon and multiple gene expression required to maintain the cellular tolerance. Transcription factors (TFs) regulate many functional genes involved in tolerance mechanisms.

Transcriptome Analysis of Drought-Adapted Cluster Bean (Cultivar RGC-1025) Reveals the Wax Regulatory Genes Involved in Drought Resistance.

Cluster bean ( L.) is one of the multipurpose underexplored crops grown as green vegetable and for gum production in dryland areas. Cluster bean is known as relatively tolerant to drought and salinity stress.

Overexpression of Gene Improves Tolerance of Drought Susceptible Groundnut ( L.) Cultivar K-6 by Increased Leaf Epicuticular Wax Accumulation.

Drought is one of the major environmental constraints affecting the crop productivity worldwide. One of the agricultural challenges today is to develop plants with minimized water utilization and reduced water loss in adverse environmental conditions. Epicuticular waxes play a major role in minimizing water loss.

A Novel WRKY Transcription Factor, ( Lam. Verdc.) Enhances Drought Stress Tolerance in Transgenic Groundnut ( L.) Plants.

Drought stress has adverse effects on growth, water relations, photosynthesis and yield of groundnut. WRKY transcription factors (TFs) are the plant-specific TFs which regulate several down-stream stress-responsive genes and play an essential role in plant biotic and abiotic stress responses. We found that gene is highly up-regulated under drought stress conditions and therefore isolated a new gene from a drought-adapted horsegram ( Lam.
