Drought tolerance acquisition in Eucalyptus globulus (Labill.): A research on plant morphology, physiology and proteomics

► We contrast Eucalyptus globulus genotypes with different drought tolerance: T vs S ► The seed proteome shows a build-up of proteins involved in abiotic stress for T. ► On the contrary, S accumulate seed storage and biotic stress-related proteins. ► ZmRab homologous proteins are first-time described in Eucalypt, accruing in T. ► Higher ABA & ABA-GE content, and morphological traits are also advantageous for T.
