Drought-resistant rapeseed genotypes show promise for sustainable agriculture.
The study looked at how two types of rapeseed plants respond to drought stress. They found that one type, P287, was better at handling drought than the other type, T88. P287 had higher levels of water, chlorophyll, and proteins, and lower levels of damage from stress. P287 also had different leaf structures that helped it survive drought better. Overall, the study shows that P287 is more drought-resistant than T88 due to its physiological and anatomical features.
