Mitigating drought stress and enhancing maize resistance through biopriming with Rhizopus arrhizus: insights into Morpho-Biochemical and molecular adjustments

Abstract Background Drought stress represents a significant threat to crop productivity, particularly in regions characterized by water scarcity. This study investigated the potential of utilizing endophytic fungi to enhance drought tolerance in maize (Zea mays L.). Specifically, we aimed to investi...
