Dual Inoculation with <i>Rhizophagus irregularis</i> and <i>Bacillus megaterium</i> Improves Maize Tolerance to Combined Drought and High Temperature Stress by Enhancing Root Hydraulics, Photosynthesis and Hormonal Responses

Dual Inoculation with <i>Rhizophagus irregularis</i> and <i>Bacillus megaterium</i> Improves Maize Tolerance to Combined Drought and High Temperature Stress by Enhancing Root Hydraulics, Photosynthesis and Hormonal Responses

Climate change is leading to combined drought and high temperature stress in many areas, drastically reducing crop production, especially for high-water-consuming crops such as maize. This study aimed to determine how the co-inoculation of an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (<i>Rhizophagus...
