Other claims from this paper (18)
- Intervention effect Drought stress inhibited shoot elongation in maize.
- Intervention effect Drought stress caused pronounced leaf curling in maize.
- Intervention effect Drought stress left maize root systems shallow and sparse, restricting water and nutrient uptake.
- Intervention effect Under drought, photosynthetic pigment degradation of chlorophyll and carotenoids was acute.
- Intervention effect Drought stress diminished CO2 assimilation in maize.
- Intervention effect Drought stress elevated maize leaf temperatures.
- Intervention effect Waterlogging after drought alleviated some drought-induced damage but introduced oxygen deprivation.
- Intervention effect Waterlogging following drought disrupted maize root respiration.
- Observation Adaptive responses partially recovered photosynthetic pigments in maize.
- Observation Adaptive responses improved water balance in maize.
- Observation Adaptive responses reduced oxidative stress in maize.
- Intervention effect Re-drought after drought and waterlogging caused the most catastrophic effects, with a systemic collapse in maize biomass accumulation.
- Intervention effect Re-drought stress caused pervasive leaf necrosis in maize.
- Intervention effect Re-drought stress caused pronounced shoot and root stunting in maize.
- Intervention effect The re-drought phase escalated ROS levels in maize.
- Intervention effect Re-drought conditions increased hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde in maize.
- Intervention effect Re-drought caused irreversible damage to maize shoot and root architecture.
- Intervention effect Severe stress collapsed photosynthesis and growth in maize.
