Efficient Regulation of CO2 Assimilation Enables Greater Resilience to High Temperature and Drought in Maize

Efficient Regulation of CO2 Assimilation Enables Greater Resilience to High Temperature and Drought in Maize

Increasing temperatures and extended drought episodes are among the major constraints affecting food production. Maize has a relatively high temperature optimum for photosynthesis compared to C3 crops, however, the response of this important C4 crop to the combination of heat and drought stress is p...
