Overexpression of GmBI-1b gene from Glycine max improves drought tolerance in soybean.
Drought stress affects plant growth, and it can directly kill plants in severe cases. Drought stress is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting soybean growth and yield. The Bax Inhibitor-1 (BI-1) can inhibit cell death mediated by both biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the function of GmBI-1 genes from soybean...
