6‐Benzyladenine increasing subsequent waterlogging‐induced waterlogging tolerance of summer maize by increasing hormone signal transduction

Summer maize is frequently subjected to waterlogging damage because of increased and variable rainfall during the growing season. The application of 6‐benzyladenine (6‐BA) can effectively mitigate the waterlogging effects on plant growth and increase the grain yield of waterlogged summer maize. However, the mechanisms underlying this process and the involvement of 6‐BA in relevant signal transduction pathways remain unclear. In this study, we...
