Abstract excerpt
Strigolactones (SLs) modulate multiple aspects of plant development and stress physiology. This study investigated their role in maize response to abiotic stress by comparing an SL-biosynthesis mutant (zmccd8) with wild-type (WT) seedlings grown for 4 weeks in vermiculite under nutrient and water limitation. Plant growth, time-course pigment accumulation, targeted gene expression, and root transcriptomic profiles...
