Nucleoredoxin Gene TaNRX1 Positively Regulates Drought Tolerance in Transgenic Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Drought is the main abiotic stress factor limiting the growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Therefore, improving wheat tolerance to drought stress is essential for maintaining yield. Previous studies have reported on the important role of TaNRX1 in conferring drought stress tolerance. T...

Nucleoredoxin Gene TaNRX1 Positively Regulates Drought Tolerance in Transgenic Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
description Drought is the main abiotic stress factor limiting the growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Therefore, improving wheat tolerance to drought stress is essential for maintaining yield. Previous studies have reported on the important role of TaNRX1 in conferring drought stress tolerance.
