Comprehensive analysis of dehydrin genes reveals ZmDHN3 contributes to drought resistance in maize (Zea Mays L.)
This study increases our understanding of DHN proteins, demonstrates that ZmDHN3 improves drought tolerance in maize, and provides candidate genes for further molecular breeding to improve maize drought stress tolerance.
