Comparative responses of two maize genotypes with contrasting drought tolerance to biochar application
| • | Biochar application decreased soil exchangeable Na+ and Ca2+, but increased soil exchangeable K+ and electrical conductivity. |
| • | Biochar increased apoplastic pH, but reduced root growth, stress damage and stress response during drought for the drought-sensitive KN5585. |
| • | Biochar improved osmotic protection, trehalose accumulation, and fresh weight during drought for the drought-tolerant Mo17. |
