Description
Rekha Rani, Shivam Kumar, Akhil Singh, and Rachapudi Sreeharsha tested spraying two plant hormones on pigeonpea to help it bear drought. Drought dents photosynthesis, cell balance, and food making in this crop. They sprayed each hormone alone and together, at two doses, then read plant health, chemistry, and gene activity under dry stress.
The paired spray at the higher dose lifted light-use efficiency and leaf energy balance the most over stressed, unsprayed plants. It also restored food and defense compounds that drought had drained, with the richest build-up of protective plant chemicals. Gene reads shifted in step. The authors frame paired hormone priming as a shield for dry spells.
