Abstract:Background: Drought is an environmental stress that adversely affects maize productivity. However, drought adaption strategies of different maize varieties are not fully clear at the transcriptomic level. In the paper, drought-sensitive SD902 and -resistant SD609 varieties were analyzed to explore transcriptional and physiological alterations to drought stress. Results: The higher SOD, CAT, GSH enzymatic antioxidants, stomatal conductance, transpiration, net photosynthesis rate suggested better performance of … Show more
