How thyme thrives under drought: insights into photosynthetic and membrane-protective mechanisms
Our findings demonstrate that the synergistic application of FeNPs and endophytes significantly enhances drought tolerance in T. vulgaris by optimizing photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm, chlorophyll content) and preserving membrane integrity (RWC, MDA reduction). These results provide a framework for leveraging nano-bio partnerships to improve crop resilience under water scarcity.
