Our results demonstrate that SbER2-1 plays an important role in response to drought stress. Furthermore, photosynthetic systems and phenylpropanoid metabolism are implicated in SbER2-1-mediated drought stress tolerance mechanisms. The use of genetic engineering to regulate SbER2-1 expression in plants and to breed new varieties tolerant to drought is a research field full of potential.
