Effects of drought stress and water recovery on physiological responses and gene expression in maize seedlings

Effects of drought stress and water recovery on physiological responses and gene expression in maize seedlings

Abstract Background Drought is one of the major factors limiting global maize production. Exposure to long-term drought conditions inhibits growth and leads to yield losses. Although several drought-responsive genes have been identified and functionally analyzed, the mechanisms underlying responses...
