Identification of drought-response genes and a study of their expression during sucrose accumulation and water deficit in sugarcane culms

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The ability of sugarcane to accumulate high concentrations of sucrose in its culm requires adaptation to maintain cellular function under the high solute load. We have investigated the expression of 51 genes implicated in abiotic str...
