What is it about?
Drought is ubiquitous abiotic stress factor severely affecting agricultural productivity. In this study, we analyzed the different biochemical, physiological and molecular responses of peach plants to medium and severe drought stress environments. Moreover, we determined the plant-water relation, photosynthesis-related parameters, activity of some important antioxidant enzymes, and gene expression of transcription factors. Peach plants showed interesting findings.

Why is it important?
Recent shifts in the climate have given rise to various types of abiotic stress factors worldwide. It is necessary to comprehend the physiological and underlying molecular mechanism to screen the potential cultivar, which can withstand the stress severity with an ultimate goal of food security for the population of the globe.
Perspectives
Currently, I was working on abiotic stress responses. This article was also part of my study. Writing article on stress-related work was a great experience. Which still needs deeper insights.
