Toward integration of a systems‐based approach for understanding drought stress in plants

Improving crop performance under drought – cross-fertilization of disciplines

“…Indeed, the latter is a key trait for dealing with complex G×E interactions, as shown by Sadras et al (2016) , who explored the genetic control of phenotypic plasticity in chickpea. A systems-based approach which allows the integration of ‘omic’ technologies using computer-assisted theoretical and molecular biology would therefore help capture a global view of the complex mechanisms involved in the phenotypic plasticity associated with drought responses ( Hussain et al , 2016 ).…”
