The phrase "a drought environment" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a setting or area characterized by a lack of water or prolonged dry conditions.
Example: "The agricultural practices in a drought environment require careful management of water resources to ensure crop survival."
Alternatives: "a dry climate" or "a water-scarce area".
The objective of this study is to genome-wide profile the expression of genes in rice in a drought environment.
In a drought environment, several genes, such as GA2ox, SAP15, and Chitinase III, were regulated in a reciprocal way in two tissues at the same development stage.
The phytohormones of ABA, ethylene, and auxin are highly accumulated in leaf in a drought environment to maintain the homeostasis of plant biosynthesis.
Seven photosynthesis-related genes were uniquely down-regulated in all leaves in a drought environment (Additional file 11): chlorophyll a/b-binding protein CP24, photosystem I reaction center subunit V, protochlorophyllide reductase A, peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, and others functioning in the process of photosynthesis.
However, this may inadvertently result in reduced water acquisition since the topsoil is often dried out and water availability typically increases with soil depth in a terminal drought environment.
Yet a correct representation of root water uptake process in land surface models (LSMs) is essential for a correct simulation of the response of vegetation to drought environment.
Therefore, drought environment severely inhibits the stem growth of ramie and leads to a decrease of the fiber yield.
A number of NAC TF genes and several MYB TF genes have been previously found to be differentially expressed in a tissue-specific manner under various abiotic stresses, such high salinity, cold stress, and drought environment [ 47- 49].
This knowledge will be useful for breeding of peanut for pre-flowering drought environment.
Clones that had low DSI values, also had low FSR yield difference under drought and no drought environment, indicating they were drought tolerant, but had less DPWP.
We are confident that more light will soon be shed on the adaptive significance of A. mongolicus root for plant adaptation to the drought environment.
