Transcriptomic and Physiological Analysis Reveals Genes Associated with Drought Stress Responses in Populus alba × Populus glandulosa.

Drought stress affects plant productivity. Clone 72-30 had increased glucose, fructose, and sucrose levels, as well as significant changes in proline, malondialdehyde, and HO levels. Clone 72-31 showed better drought tolerance and different genetic changes.
