Yaghooti grape, as the earliest grape variety in Iran, is considered as more resistant to heat, drought, and salinity than other cultivars. Cluster compactness is regarded as an inappropriate feature for the productivity of Yaghooti grape as a critical commercial and nutritional product. In plants, lncRNAs play a critical role in regulating biological processes related to growth and development.

Here, we evaluated the effects of drought stress on some defense systems of wheat cultivar "Sistan" (drought-sensitive) and landrace "Bolani" (drought-tolerant). Under drought stress, Bolani plants showed lower increases in hydrogen peroxide content compared to Sistan ones, which was accompanied with significant decrease in malondialdehyde and electrolyte leakage indices.

Such purposeful interactions make the various processes inside the cells and the bodies of living organisms possible. DNA-protein interactions, among all the types of interactions between different molecules, are of considerable importance.
