Abscisic Acid and Glycine Betaine Mediated Tolerance Mechanisms under Drought Stress and Recovery in Axonopus compressus: A New Insight

Changing climatic scenarios affect plant growth and consequences are more malicious in drought conditions. This study was performed for better understanding of tolerance mechanisms under prevailing drought stress and succeeding recovery in Axonopus compressus by exogenously applied abscisic acid (ABA) and glycine betaine (GB). Three A. compressus accessions (A-38, A-58 and A-59) were subjected to well-watered (100% field capacity) and drought...
