Functions of exogenous strigolactone application and strigolactone biosynthesis genes GhMAX3/GhMAX4b in response to drought tolerance in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Abstract Background Drought stress markedly constrains plant growth and diminishes crop productivity. Strigolactones (SLs) exert a beneficial influence on plant resilience to drought conditions. Nevertheless, the specific function of SLs in modulating cotton’s response to drought stress remains to b...
