Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Fluridone reduced growth of well-watered maize similarly to drought.
- Intervention effect Azospirillum inoculation completely reversed the fluridone-associated growth reduction.
- Intervention effect Fluridone-treated maize had significantly lower relative water content.
- Intervention effect Azospirillum completely neutralized the reduction in relative water content.
- Intervention effect Growth was diminished under drought with prohexadione-Ca treatment alone.
- Intervention effect Growth was diminished under drought when prohexadione-Ca and fluridone were combined.
- Observation ABA levels were enhanced in drought-submitted plants treated with prohexadione-Ca.
- Mechanism The authors suggest ABA and gibberellins both contribute to Azospirillum-mediated water-stress alleviation.
