Drought-resistant plants can live without water for extended periods of time, sometimes even years, whereas drought-tolerant plants can survive with minimal water for a shorter period of time — generally a few weeks to a month. Drought-resistant plants are more resilient to drought than drought-...
Other plants, particularly tropical C4 grasses and some woody plants from arid regions such as creosote bush, sagebrush, acacias, and shrubs of the Mediterranean maquis and California chaparral, have protoplasmic tolerance of desiccation. However, the vast majority of woody plants show limited ...

This indicates a process leading to isoprene emissions that are more resistant than photosynthesis, and a possible presence of alternative C sources used for isoprene synthesis, such as cytosolic and extra-chloroplastic C pools [35,66], respiration [67], sugar, and starch [64]. The lower water...
It was reported that the level of phenolic compounds could be used as indicators of drought resistance in shrubs [30]. Moreover, studies have shown that the drought stress could increase the number of phenolic compounds in some plants, and some drought resistant genotype could produce more ...
