Screening for Drought Tolerance in Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) Germplasm Using Germination and Seedling Traits under Simulated Drought Conditions
Maize is known to be susceptible to drought stress, which negatively affects vegetative growth and biomass production, as well as the formation of reproductive organs and yield parameters. In this study, 27 responsive traits of germination (G) and seedlings growth were evaluated for 40 accessions of...
