Abstract excerpt
The maize inbred lines Huangzao 4 (HZ4) and Chang 7-2 (C7-2) are the foundation genotypes key to maize cross-breeding in China. C7-2 is derived from HZ-4. In this study, changes in phenotype, physiology and gene expression of three-leaf-old seedlings of HZ4 and C7-2 under the conditions of progressive water deficit (WD) and re-watering (RW) were compared to gain knowledge for breeding new maize foundation...
