Abstract:Background
Flooding and drought are the two most devastating natural hazards limiting maize production. Exogenous glycinebetaine (GB), an osmotic adjustment agent, has been extensively used but limits focus on its role in mitigating the negative effects of different abiotic stress. The study aims to identify the different roles of GB in regulating the diverse defense mechanisms of maize against drought and flooding.
