Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses uncover the drought adaption landscape of Phoebe zhennan. Phoebe zhennan (nanmu)

Phoebe zhennan (nanmu) has been listed as a threatened tree species in China. Drought can severely limit its growth and development. However, the molecular mechanisms of nanmu underlying drought resistance remain unclear. The purpose of this study was therefore to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of drought stress response in nanmu.
