Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The ZmNAC100-ZmWAK3 transcriptional module enhances maize cold tolerance by coordinately enhancing antioxidant defense and improving photosynthetic efficiency. Low temperature is a major abiotic stress that constrains agricultural productivity by severely inhibiting crop growth and development, leading to substantial yield losses. As a chilling-sensitive crop, maize is particularly vulnerable to cold...
