Using Network-Based Machine Learning to Predict Transcription Factors Involved in Drought Resistance
TL;DR: The Gene Regulation and Association Network (GRAiN) as discussed by the authors is an interactive query-based web-platform that allows users to study functional relationships between transcription factors (TFs) and genetic modules underlying abiotic-stress responses.
Impact of cycocel on seed germination and growth in some commercial crops under osmotic stress conditions
TL;DR: CCC priming was found to be effective in diverting a major proportion of assimilates to root, because root to shoot dry weight ratio increased due to CCC application under all osmotic stress regimes.

Drought, climate change and sustainability of water in agriculture: A roadmap towards the NWRS2
TL;DR: The National Water Resource Strategy 2 (NWRS2) has set out the general and strategic directions for water resources management in the country for the next 20 years as discussed by the authors, which does not draw a framework tailored specifically for agricultural use, with specific measures and goals.
Mapping the QTLs underlying drought stress at developmental stage of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) by association analysis
TL;DR: QTLs for some traits were detected only under the drought stress condition, suggesting that these traits are important in drought tolerance, and could be used to further dissect the genetic and physiological basis of drought tolerance in sorghum.

Overexpression of BvHb2, a Class 2 Non-Symbiotic Hemoglobin from Sugar Beet, Confers Drought-Induced Withering Resistance and Alters Iron Content in Tomato
TL;DR: It is shown that class 2 non-symbiotic plant hemoglobins are targets to generate novel biotechnological crops tolerant to abiotic stress.

Human biochemical genetics
TL;DR: For the next few weeks the course is going to be exploring a field that’s actually older than classical population genetics, although the approach it’ll be taking to it involves the use of population genetic machinery.

Roles of glycine betaine and proline in improving plant abiotic stress resistance
Muhammad Ashraf,Majid R. Foolad +1 more
TL;DR: In this review article, numerous examples of successful application of these compounds to improve plant stress tolerance are presented and a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of exogenously applied GB and proline is expected to aid their effective utilization in crop production in stress environments.

Two transcription factors, DREB1 and DREB2, with an EREBP/AP2 DNA binding domain separate two cellular signal transduction pathways in drought- and low-temperature-responsive gene expression, respectively, in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: Overexpression of the DREB1A cDNA in transgenic Arabidopsis plants not only induced strong expression of the target genes under unstressed conditions but also caused dwarfed phenotypes in the transgenic plants, and revealed freezing and dehydration tolerance.
Drought and Salt Tolerance in Plants
TL;DR: The responses of plants to salt and water stress are described, the regulatory circuits which allow plants to cope with stress are presented, and how the present knowledge can be applied to obtain tolerant plants is discussed.

Drought-induced responses of photosynthesis and antioxidant metabolism in higher plants
TL;DR: This review focuses on the ability and strategies of higher plants to respond and adapt to drought stress, including proline and glycine-betaine, as well as the role of abscisic acid under drought stress conditions.
