Knock-down the expression of TaH2B-7D using virus-induced gene silencing reduces wheat drought tolerance

Abstract Background Drought is a major abiotic stress affecting global wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. Exploration of drought-tolerant genes is essential for the genetic improvement of drought tolerance in wheat. Previous studies have shown that some histone encoding genes are involved in p...
