Water-deficit-stress induced changes in gene expression
As shown by Bray (pp. 803-811), more than 130 genes have altered expression in response to water deficit in the model plant arabidopsis. Although the expression of these genes indicates multiple responses by the cell, a greater understanding of gene function is needed to understand the physiological and metabolic mechanisms that permit adaptation to water stress.
