Abstract:
The growth and development of maize are negatively affected by drought and strong wind. Therefore, it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying abiotic stress resistance in maize. We showed that ZmNST3 positively regulates the resistance in lodging and drought stress, and improve maize lodging resistance by directly regulating various genes related to cell wall biosynthesis (e.g., CESA5 , DRP2A ). Moreover, ZmNST3 could enhance drought tolerance by regulating genes related to the antioxidant enzyme system, cell wall biosynthesis and other pathways. Our findings elucidate the underlying mechanisms for the development of lodging‐resistant and drought‐tolerant germplasm.
