Thirsty, soaked, and thriving: Maize morpho-physiological and biochemical responses to sequential drought, waterlogging, and re-drying

Plant Stress
Maize (Zea mays), a pivotal cereal crop, frequently encounters sequential abiotic stresses—drought, waterlogging, and re-drought—that impose multifaceted and interlinked constraints on its growth and productivity.
