Overexpression of MdFRK2 enhances apple drought resistance by promoting carbohydrate metabolism and root growth under drought stress

Soluble sugars function not only as the energy and structural blocks supporting plants, but also as osmoregulators and signal molecules during plant adaptation to water deficit. Here, we investigated drought resistance in transgenic apple (Malus × domestica) overexpressing MdFRK2, a key gene regulat...
