Exogenous myo-inositol enhances drought tolerance in maize seedlings by antioxidant defense, and photosynthetic efficiency

IntroductionDrought stress severely impairs maize (Zea mays L.) production, particularly during the seedling stage.MethodsIn this study, we aimed to investigate the role of exogenous myo-inositol (MI) in alleviating drought stress in maize seedlings. We established four treatments: control (CK), MI...
