General mechanisms of drought response and their application in drought resistance improvement in plants (2014, methodology): “Besides, other leaf-associated traits such as epidermal hairs, cuticular wax, along with leaf water potential, relative water content, water loss rate, and canopy temperature are also used as criteria for appraisal of DA [11].”
Breeding wheat for drought tolerance: Progress and technologies (2016, background): “To date, several classes of genes have been confirmed to be up or down-regulated by drought stress to enable dehydration avoidance or tolerance in various plant species including wheat (Hu and Xiong 2014; Langridge and Reynolds 2015).”
ROS Regulation During Abiotic Stress Responses in Crop Plants (2015, background): “These reductions result from climate change and the freshwater-supply shortage as well as the simultaneous occurrence of different abiotic stresses (Mittler and Blumwald, 2010; Hu and Xiong, 2014).”
Advances in Plant Tolerance to Abiotic Stresses (2016, background): “In addition, understanding expression networks of genes encoding for the aforementioned proteins, especially genes involved in cellular structure stabilization, molecular chaperones, enzymes for detoxification of reactive oxygen species, and those for the biosynthesis of sugars, wax and dehydrins, w”
