DOI: 10.1002/pmic.201800310 Rice is a major food crop but we need to know much more about the mechanisms and markers required for rice to become drought tolerant. We contrast two genotypes, one being a drought‐tolerant landrace while the other is Nipponbare. Meristems are vital to sustained growth and yet their protein expression profiles are poorly understood. In article number 1800310, Yunqi Wu et al. compare the proteome of the meristems and identify some major differences in expression patterns, both as plants experience drought and after re‐watering.
