Drought Resistance Mechanisms in Alfalfa: Insights from Metabolic Profiling
Introduction Drought stress severely affects agricultural productivity, accounting for over 50% of crop yield reductions globally. As climate change exacerbates drought conditions, understanding how plants adapt is crucial for developing resilient crops. In this context, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) serves as a vital perennial forage crop, with drought being a primary factor limiting its growth…

Drought Resistance Mechanisms in Alfalfa Leaves Revealed by Metabolic Profiling
Introduction Drought events are increasingly severe and frequent due to global climate change, significantly impacting agricultural yields. Over 50% of crop yield reductions caused by abiotic stress can be attributed to drought. Thus, understanding the mechanisms of drought resistance in crops like alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), a vital forage grass, is crucial for enhancing their…
