- Intervention effect Severe drought with low nitrogen downregulated photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence.
- Intervention effect Severe drought with low nitrogen accelerated grain filling rate.
- Intervention effect Severe drought with low nitrogen shortened grain filling duration.
- Intervention effect Severe drought with low nitrogen reduced grain yields.
- Intervention effect Severe drought, especially at jointing, lowered chlorophyll and Rubisco content.
- Intervention effect Severe drought, especially at jointing, lowered photosystem II efficiency.
- Intervention effect Severe drought, especially at jointing, caused greater grain yield reductions.
- Intervention effect Higher nitrogen under drought maintained higher leaf water potential, chlorophyll and Rubisco content.
- Intervention effect Higher nitrogen under drought was associated with lower lipid peroxidation.
- Intervention effect Higher nitrogen under drought was associated with higher superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxidase activities.
- Intervention effect Higher nitrogen increased grain filling duration.
- Intervention effect Higher nitrogen reduced the extent of grain yield reductions.
- Mechanism Authors attribute higher-nitrogen drought tolerance to maintained photosynthesis and antioxidant defenses.
