ZmEREB180 modulates waterlogging tolerance in maize by regulating root development and antioxidant gene expression

Abstract excerpt

With climate change increasing the frequency of extreme weather events, waterlogging has become a significant threat to agricultural production, especially in maize-growing regions. Waterlogging induces hypoxic conditions in the root zone, limiting maize growth and yield (Liang et al., 2020; Pedersen et al., 2017). Plants have evolved adaptive mechanisms, such as adventitious root (AR) formation and enhanced...
