Genotype-specific transcriptomic response to drought stress in potato cultivars modulated by microbial biostimulants
Potato responses to drought are highly genotype-dependent and involve complex trade-offs among growth, stress defense, and metabolic reprogramming. Microbial biostimulants offer a promising approach to enhance drought resilience and tuber nutraceutical quality. However, their efficacy is genotype-specific and requires targeted application strategies for optimal results.
