3.	SbNAC014, SbNAC035 and SbNAC041	Transcriptional activator, plays important role during post-flowering drought stress in sorghum
4.	SbNAC037	Nutrient remobilization during drought stress
5.	SbDof12, SbDof19 and SbDof24	Imparts tolerance during the onset of drought stress	[73]
6.	SbDof21, SbDof22, SbDof23, SbDof25, SbDof27 and SbDof28	Imparts tolerance during later stage of drought stress
7.	SbGH3 and SbLBD	Involved in the auxin and drought stress signaling cross talk	[74]
8.	SbPIN4/5/8/9/11	Exhibits ABA-induced expression	[79]
9.	SbWRKY30	Positive regulator and highly expressed in sorghum taproot and leaves	[77]
