“…As most studies conducted so far were based on the identification of one or a few genes, attempts to identify a large array of genes from the whole transcriptome are limited. For instance, despite the availability of the draft genome sequence of tef, in silico gene identification so far focused on a few selected transcriptional factors (TFs) rather than utilizing a large array of drought-responsive genes from a range of plant species [49][50][51][52][53][54]. Some research articles published in the last two years on in silico analysis of drought-responsive gene identification in different crops are summarized in Table 1 below.…”
