Proteomic Profile of Glyphosate-Resistant Soybean under Combined Herbicide and Drought Stress Conditions

While some genetically modified (GM) plants have been targeted to confer tolerance to abiotic stressors, transgenes are impacted by abiotic stressors, causing adverse effects on plant physiology and yield. However, routine safety analyses do not assess the response of GM plants under different envir...
