Molecular characterization of water deficit stress inducible defensins from Atriplex canescens /

The mechanisms of gene regulation under water deficit stress were examined, focusing on a family of homologous genes from the woody desert shrub, Atriplex canescens. Plant tissue from A.canescens was chosen as a source of genes due to its ability to survive desiccation under severe stress levels. Di...
