Improvement of maize drought tolerance by foliar application of zinc selenide quantum dots

Improvement of maize drought tolerance by foliar application of zinc selenide quantum dots

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important cereal crop grown in arid and semiarid regions of the world. During the reproductive phase, it is more frequently exposed to drought stress, resulting in lower grain yield due to oxidative damage. Selenium and zinc oxide nanoparticles possess inherent antioxidant...
