Transcriptome analysis of maize leaves under simulated drought conditions using PEG-6000

To elucidate the gene expression profile of maize seedlings after drought, we subjected them to a 20% PEG-6000 simulated drought treatment for 7 days. Before the drought treatment, transcriptome analysis was conducted on the leaves of maize seedlings at 12h, 24h, 48h, and 96h, as well as after rehydration for 48h
