Comprehensive transcriptome analysis provides molecular insights into the heterosis-associated drought tolerance and reveals ZmbHLH137 that promotes drought tolerance in maize seedlings

Drought, a primary environmental factor, imposes significant constraints on maize’s developmental processes and productivity. Heterosis breeding is one of the most important breeding strategies for reducing drought-induced yield losses. The genetic mechanisms of heterosis for drought tolerance in ma...
