  "summary": "Drought stress represents a major challenge for plant growth and survival, requiring coordinated regulation of physiological and molecular responses to maintain water balance. The cysteine-rich transmembrane module (CYSTM) family comprises a highly conserved group of small proteins whose functions in plant stress adaptation remain largely unknown. Here, we identified CYSTM1 (AT1G05340) as a…",
