Physiological and multi-omics analyses reveal BCAA-related responses and photosynthetic preservation associated with differential nicosulfuron tolerance in sweet maize

Nicosulfuron, an acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicide widely used for post-emergence weed control in maize, can cause severe genotype-dependent phytotoxicity in sweet maize. At 80 mg L −1 nicosulfuron, the sensitive genotype HK320 showed 100% mortality, whereas the to...
