“…The results showed the following: (1) In contrast to the non-significant trend in <i>ETN</i> on the diurnal and daily scales, monthly <i>ETN</i> dynamics exhibited two peak fluctuations during the growing season. (2) The contribution of <i>ETN</i> to <i>ET</i> exhibited seasonal characteristics, being relatively low in summer, with interannual variations ranging from 10.9% to 14.3% and an annual average of 12.8%. (3) The half-hourly <i>ETN</i>, determined by machine learning methods, was driven by a combination of factors. …”

Drought-tolerant fungal microbes, Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus fumigatus, elevate physiohormonal and antioxidant responses of maize under drought stress by Kiran Niaz, Mamoona Rauf, Muhammad Arif, Muhammad Hamayun, Humaira Gul, Abeer Hashem, Elsayed Fathi Abd_Allah, Qiang-Sheng Wu

“…IntroductionTemporary and extended drought stress accelerates phytohormones and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants, however, the fate of the plants under stress is mostly determined by the metabolic and molecular reprogramming, which can be modulated by the application of habitat-adapted fungi that triggers resistance to stress upon symbiotic association.MethodsThe present research exhibited the exploitation of the newly isolated, drought habitat-adapted fungal endophytic consortium of SAB (Aspergillus oryzae) and CBW (Aspergillus fumigatus), on maize under drought stress. …”
