Dear Prof. Varshney,
We would like to submit a review manuscript entitledProspects of developing drought resilience in crop plants
through strategic modifications in root system architecture . This
review discusses the modifications in plants while responding to drought
giving special focus on roots as they are the primary sense organs in
this context. This review throw light on focus areas to engineer root
system architecture (RSA) using genomic data and high throughput
phenotypic information for drought resilience. Therefore, we find this
special call an appropriate place to submit this review. We hope you
will find this manuscript as a welcome addition to this special call. We
will be looking forward to your views in this regard.
Regards
