Identification and freedom to operate analysis of potential genes for drought tolerance in maize
Drought tolerance is an important character for agricultural crops, particularly corn. Genes confering this feature can be patented, thus hindering their use. From a thorough analysis, three genes (DREB, ZAT10 and CspB) were identified and their sequences were captured in the NCBI database. From the...
