Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on enhancing the drought tolerance of peanut plants through the genetic modification that employs specific regulatory genes for root growth and stress resistance.
- Transgenic peanut plants expressing genes such as Alfin1, PgHSF4, and PDH45 demonstrated improved growth, higher root development, and better water retention under drought conditions.
- The results indicated that these genetically modified plants had enhanced recovery capabilities from moisture stress and exhibited significant expression of stress-responsive genes, suggesting a positive impact on crop adaptation and productivity in challenging environments.
