Drought, Resurrection, Pokilohydric, stress, toleranceAbstract
Resurrection plants are the vital assets of nature that have amazing mechanism to restrict the negative impacts of drought or desiccation stress by diminishing cell damage. These surprising plants are in minority on this planet but have the potential to serve as a powerful resource for developing new strategies for major crop plants that are unable to adapt well to the arid climate. In this review, an attempt is made to highlight the potential aspects of these resurrection plants especially the genetic engineering facet which has been done to develop drought tolerance in economically important plants.
