Gas exchange and chlorophyll synthesis of maize cultivars are enhanced by exogenously-applied glycinebetaine under drought conditions
Glycinebetaine acts as an osmoprotectant and is closely related with drought resistance. In the present study, glycinebetaine (GB) was exogenously-applied to two contrasting maize cultivars, Dongdan-60 and ND-95, to see whether GB improves drought resistance. Maize cultivars were grown with normal w...
