DOI: ROOTING FOR RESILIENCE: LEGUME PLANT RESPONSE TO DROUGHT STRESS
Veronica Wahyuni , Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sumatera Utara, IndonesiaAbstract
This study explores the intriguing journey of legume plants as they confront and respond to drought stress. Drought stress is a significant environmental challenge that affects legume crop production and overall agricultural sustainability. In this research, we investigate the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms that legume plants employ to adapt and survive in drought conditions. Our findings shed light on the fascinating strategies that legume plants employ to enhance resilience, including root adaptations, osmotic regulation, and antioxidant defense systems. This knowledge is essential for developing sustainable agricultural practices and crop improvement strategies in the face of climate change and increasing water scarcity.
