Plants need to adapt to a constantly changing environment, including reacting to frequent biotic and abiotic stresses. Understanding the mechanisms by which these stress adaptations are regulated is necessary, which can greatly increase the survival rate and biomass of plants under stress conditions. Transposons have become the subject of intense research because they are known to be involved in adaptation to various unfavorable environments. In this brief commentary, we focus on the INDITTO2 transposon, which is involved in regulating drought stress in plants.
