The discovery of these drought stress-responsive TFs will be helpful for further understanding the drought stress-regulatory mechanism of ramie and improving the drought tolerance ability of ramie.
The discovery of this drought-induced microbiome enrichment of specific bacteria could offer a potential pathway for manipulating plant microbiomes in crops that are less drought-tolerant than sorghum.
Fortunately, transcriptome profiling and digital gene expression (DGE) analysis using high throughput sequence technology have facilitated discovery of DEGs under drought stress without relying on genome sequence information.
In addition the library has a large number of transcription factors and will be interesting for discovery and validation of drought or abiotic stress related genes in common bean.
Currently, besides disease resistant gene, like Xoo resistant gene, more and more resistant genes are being investigated for better functional annotation or gene discovery, including cold resistant, drought resistant, and herbicide resistant genes.
The decades-long drought in antibiotic discovery could be over after a breakthrough by US scientists.
With water security a growing concern around the world, the discovery of five aquifers in drought-plagued Turkana County could help secure Kenya's access to the most critical of natural resources, particularly in the arid north.
A different kind of analysis led to the discovery of two very long droughts, one that began in the ninth century and lasted about 200 years, and another that began in the 13th and lasted for a century and a half.
Completion of the wheat genome sequence will facilitate the discovery of additional and novel drought-adaptive DEGs.
Therefore, extensive effort has been made for discovering genetic elements and mechanisms of drought tolerance, including the discovery of drought-associated miRNAs.
