NpSCI2A, a potato inhibitor I protein from a wild sugarcane relative, negatively regulates drought tolerance by targeting subtilases

Drought severely limits sugarcane productivity. The wild relative of sugarcane, Narenga porphyrocoma , is highly drought-tolerant and represents a valuable source of stress-resistance genes. We identified NpSCI2A , encoding a s potato inhibitor I that is significantly downregulat...
