Linking dynamic phenotyping with metabolite analysis to study natural variation in drought responses of Brachypodium distachyon
Drought is an important environmental stress limiting the productivity of major crops worldwide. Understanding drought tolerance and possible mechanisms for improving drought resistance is therefore a prerequisite to develop drought-tolerant crops that produce significant yields with reduced amounts...
