Potassium Improves Drought Stress Tolerance in Plants by Affecting Root Morphology, Root Exudates and Microbial Diversity

Potassium (K) reduces the deleterious effects of drought stress on plants. However, this mitigation has been studied mainly in the aboveground plant pathways, while the effect of K on root-soil interactions in the underground part is still underexplored. Here, we conducted the experiments to investi...
