Overexpression of ZxABCG11 from Zygophyllum xanthoxylum enhances tolerance to drought and heat in alfalfa by increasing cuticular wax deposition

Drought and heat stresses cause yield losses in alfalfa, a forage crop cultivated worldwide. Improving its drought and heat tolerance is desirable for maintaining alfalfa productivity in hot, arid regions. Cuticular wax forms a protective barrier on aerial surfaces of land plants against environment...
