Plant cellular responses to water deficit Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Water availability and drought limit crop yields worldwide. The responses of plants to drought vary greatly depending on species and stress severity. These responses include changes in plant growth, accumulation of solutes, changes in carbon and nitrogen metabolism, and alterations in gene expression. In this article, we review cellular and molecular responses to water deficit, and their influence on plant dehydration tolerance.
