Advances of ABA Related Genes on Plant Drought Tolerance Gene Engineering Studies

Abstract

Abstract: Drought is one of the most important factors which affect plant growth and development. ABA plays an essential role on plant development and growth, and response to stresses. With the fast development of molecular biology and related disciplines, people obtain much knowledge toward genes on ABA synthesis and signal transduction, and have done many transgenic studies. This article reviewed the research advances of ABA related genes on plant drought tolerance gene engineering.

Key words: Drought tolerance, Gene engineering, Transcription factor, ABA
