Abstract excerpt

As drought severely threatens the stability of crop yields, it is crucial to develop cultivars with enhanced drought resilience. Here we demonstrate that natural variation in ZmDapF1, encoding a putative diaminopimelate epimerase, contributes to maize drought-stress resistance without compromising grain yield. ZmDapF1 inhibits the activity of ZmMDH6, a chloroplast NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase. ZmDapF1 gene...
