Physiological and transcriptomic analyses provide insight into thermotolerance in desert plant Zygophyllum xanthoxylum

Abstract Background Heat stress has adverse effects on the growth and reproduction of plants. Zygophyllum xanthoxylum, a typical xerophyte, is a dominant species in the desert where summer temperatures are around 40 °C. However, the mechanism underlying the thermotolerance of Z. xanthoxylum remained...
