Drought is one of the most severe abiotic stress, and significantly reduces crop productivity. Phytohormones play the key role in regulating drought resistance of plant. Our lab aim to uncover the mechanism of how hormones regulate plant drought resistance in Arabidopsis and wheat, so that could facilitate the breeding of drought-resistant wheat varieties.
