Maize Tolerance against Drought and Chilling Stresses Varied with Root Morphology and Antioxidative Defense System

Maize belongs to a tropical environment and is extremely sensitive to drought and chilling stress, particularly at early developmental stages. The present study investigated the individual and combined effects of drought (15% PEG-Solution) and chilling stress (15/12 °C) on morpho-physiological growt...
