Integrated metabolome and transcriptome analysis of maize roots response to different degrees of drought stress
Our results suggest that the co-regulation of the lignin biosynthesis pathway and hormone signals significantly enhances root performance, helping maize maintain growth under MD conditions. This study leads to a better understanding of the regulatory mechanisms involved in maize root adaptation to drought environments.
