Comparative transcriptomic analysis reveals common molecular factors responsive to heat and drought stress in Agrostis stolonifera

Abstract Heat and drought stress are primary abiotic stresses confining growth of cool-season grass species during summer. The objective of this study was to identify common molecular factors and metabolic pathways associated with heat and drought responses in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifer...
