Transcriptome Analysis of <i>Lolium temulentum</i> Exposed to a Combination of Drought and Heat Stress

Drought and heat are two major stresses predicted to increase in the future due to climate change. Plants exposed to multiple stressors elicit unique responses from those observed under individual stresses. A comparative transcriptome analysis of <i>Lolium temulentum</i> exposed to droug...
