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
