FlbZIP12 gene enhances drought tolerance via modulating flavonoid biosynthesis in Fagopyrum leptopodum.

Summary

Scientists studied a wild population of drought-tolerant buckwheat to enhance drought tolerance in cultivated buckwheat. Overexpressing a gene called FlbZIP12 in buckwheat increased drought tolerance and flavonoid contents. This research provides a basis for improving buckwheat's ability to withstand drought.
