Overexpression of an NF-YB gene family member, EaNF-YB2, enhances drought tolerance in sugarcane (Saccharum Spp. Hybrid)
This study provides insights into the role of the EaNF-YB2 gene in drought tolerance in sugarcane. Based on the findings of this study, the EaNF-YB2 gene can be potentially exploited to produce drought tolerant sugarcane cultivars to sustain sugarcane production under water deficit conditions.
