Genetic background of drought tolerance in barley
Abstract
Increasing the drought tolerance of cultivated crops is becoming a priority from a practical point of view. The identification and deeper understanding of genes involved in drought tolerance receives a great emphasis. In this work, we summarize the genes (Hsdr4, Dhn1, Dhn3, Dhn5, Dhn9, P5CS, HSP17, HSP18, HSP70, HSP90 and HVA1) that have been associated with drought tolerance for barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and investigated in detail. The expression of these genes may indicate the degree of drought tolerance.
