A Novel Isoprene Synthase from the Monocot Tree <i>Copernicia prunifera</i> (Arecaceae) Confers Enhanced Drought Tolerance in Transgenic Arabidopsis

The capacity to emit isoprene, among other stresses, protects plants from drought, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this trait are only partly understood. The Arecaceae (palms) constitute a very interesting model system to test the involvement of isoprene in enhancing drought tolerance, as th...
