Characterization of the late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins family and their role in drought stress tolerance in upland cotton

Abstract Background Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are large groups of hydrophilic proteins with major role in drought and other abiotic stresses tolerance in plants. In-depth study and characterization of LEA protein families have been carried out in other plants, but not in upland cott...
