Cuticular wax biosynthesis as a way of inducing drought resistance [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2011 Plants have evolved diverse adaptive strategies to cope with drought or water deficit conditions, such as stomatal closure, maintenance of root growth and water uptake, and biosynthesis of osmoprotectants. Accumulation of cuticular waxes also contributes to drought resistance.
