Abstract
Soil water deficit is one of the major factors limiting plant
productivity. Plants cope with this adverse environmental condition by
coordinating the up- or downregulation of an array of stress responsive
genes. Reprogramming the expression of these genes leads to rebalanced
development and growth that are in concert with the reduced water
availability and that ultimately confer enhanced stress tolerance.
Currently, several techniques have been employed to monitor genome-wide
transcriptional reprogramming under drought stress. The results from
these high throughput studies indicate that drought stress-induced
transcriptional reprogramming is dynamic, has temporal and spatial
specificity, and is coupled with the circadian clock and phytohormone
signaling pathways.
