Good news, #tea drinkers! 🍵New @plosone.org study shows how different plant hormones can keep the teapot full even when tea plants suffer drought: 🫖🌿🧪https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0331456 #plantscience #plantsci
Exogenous salicylic acid, abscisic acid, and shikimic acid enhance drought tolerance in tea by modulating antioxidant defense and osmotic regulation
Tea (Camellia sinensis), a widely cultivated crop across more than 50 countries, is highly vulnerable to drought stress, which impairs growth and reduces yield. This study examines the potential of ex...
