Research Abstract |
Plants produce seeds for the next generation. Developing seeds are more sensitive to environmental stresses than plant (e. g., roots, leaves, stem). It is essential for developing seeds to be protected from environmental stresses, the protection system is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to identify genes that regulated seed-specific stress tolerance and DPS genes were identified. It was also shown that DPS1, one of the DPS genes, involved in seed-specific drought stress. This study leads to an improvement of crop yield in arid area
