A differentially spliced gene, SAFE1, reproducibly showed drought-responsive alternative splicing in guard cells but maintained constant gene expression.
Splice locking SAFE1 made plants drought-sensitive further validating the bioinformatic findings of this paper

Differential alternative splicing is a powerful method of transcriptional reprogramming used by plants in response to stress, but its mechanism of action remains largely unanswered. In the present wo...
