Enhancement of the Expression of <i>ZmBZR1</i> and <i>ZmBES1</i> Regulatory Genes and Antioxidant Defense Genes Triggers Water Stress Mitigation in Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) Plants Treated with 24-Epibrassinolide in Combination with Spermine

Water shortages greatly threaten global food security and limit crop production. Hence, increasing crop water stress tolerance is a critical way to secure agricultural production. 24-Epibrassinolide (EBL) and spermine (Spm) are closely involved in plant growth and development, as well as stress tole...
