Drought response in wheat: key genes and regulatory mechanisms controlling root system architecture and transpiration efficiency
Open accessAbstract
Abiotic stresses such as drought, heat, salinity and flooding threaten global food security. Crop genetic improvement with increased resilience to abiotic stresses is a critical component of crop breeding strategies. Wheat is an important cereal crop and a staple food source globally. Enhanced drought tolerance in wheat is critical for sustainable food production and global food security. Recent advances in drought tolerance research have uncovered many key genes and transcription regulators governing morpho-physiological traits. Genes controlling root architecture and stomatal development play an important role in soil moisture extraction and its retention, and therefore have been targets of molecular breeding strategies for improving drought tolerance. In this systematic review, we have summarized evidence of beneficial contributions of root and stomatal traits to plant adaptation to drought stress. Specifically, we discuss a few key genes such as DRO1 in rice and ERECTA in Arabidopsis and rice that were identified to be the enhancers of drought tolerance via regulation of root traits and transpiration efficiency. Additionally, we highlight several transcription factor families, such as ERF (ethylene response factors), DREB (dehydration responsive element binding), ZFP (zinc finger proteins), WRKY and MYB that were identified to be both positive and negative regulators of drought responses in wheat, rice, maize and/or Arabidopsis. The overall aim of this review was to provide an overview of candidate genes that have been tested as regulators of drought response in plants. The lack of a reference genome sequence for wheat and nontransgenic approaches for manipulation of gene functions in the past had impeded high-resolution interrogation of functional elements, including genes and QTLs, and their application in cultivar improvement. The recent developments in wheat genomics and reverse genetics, including the availability of a gold-standard reference genome sequence and advent genome editing technologies, are expected to aid in deciphering of the functional roles of genes and regulatory networks underlying adaptive phenological traits, and utilizing the outcomes of such studies in developing drought tolerance cultivars.

The ERECTA gene family plays a critical role in drought tolerance by influencing root system architecture and transpiration efficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa.
“A notable example is the ERECTA gene family, which plays a critical role in drought tolerance by influencing root system architecture and transpiration efficiency in both Arabidopsis thaliana and economically important crops like Oryza sativa (Kulkarni et al., 2017; Wen J. et al., 2019).”
From Emerging applications of gene editing technologies for the development of climate-resilient crops (2025) · cites this paper as Kulkarni et al., 2017
The 'Stomatal traits for enhanced drought tolerance' section (page not provided) reports that ERECTA regulates transpiration efficiency in Arabidopsis and that wheat ERECTA homologs are associated with related traits. It does not link ERECTA to root system architecture or establish the claimed role in rice; the 'Enhanced root growth for drought tolerance' section instead discusses DRO1 as a regulator of rice root architecture.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
