Drought, metabolites, and Arabidopsis natural variation: a promising combination for understanding adaptation to water-limited environments
PE Verslues, TE Juenger - Current opinion in plant biology, 2011 - Elsevier
Drought elicits substantial changes in plant metabolism and it remains a challenge to
determine which of these changes represent adaptive responses and which of them are …
