Deciphering the genetic architecture of drought tolerance could allow the candidate genes identification responding to water stress. In the Andean Patagonian forest, the genus Nothofagus represents an ecologically relevant species to be included in diffe
and biochemical adaptations aimed at minimizing water loss through transpiration and optimizing water-use efficiency. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for developing drought-tolerant crop varieties. This review describes both short-term and long-term morpho-anatomical adaptations that help stabilize ...
