Exogenous Brassinolide Enhances the Growth and Cold Resistance of Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) Seedlings under Chilling Stress

This paper aims to elucidate the effects of exogenous brassinolide (BL) on maize germination and seedling growth under chilling stress. The cold-resistant maize hybrid Tiannong 9 and the cold-sensitive hybrid Tianhe 1 were soaked at the germination stage (6 °C) and leaves were sprayed at seedling st...
