At the root of the solution!

In SATrends issue 62 (January 2006), we reported that DREB1A transcription factor from Arabidopsis thaliana, when introduced transgenically into groundnut and expressed under the control of a stressresponsive promoter from A. thaliana rd29A gene, appears to confer water-economizing capacity compared to its wild type parent variety JL 24 (WT). We now have some exciting observations on roots of DREB1A transgenics
