Root water uptake and photosynthesis synergistically enhance drought tolerance in interspecific hybrid sugarcane

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) is a globally important crop for food and bioenergy, but its production is increasingly threatened by drought driven by climate change. Drought causes complex interactions between root function and leaf photosynthesis, but their underlying mechanisms remain largely...
