Drought–Rewatering Dynamics in Chinese Cropping Systems: A Meta-Analysis of Yield Loss Mitigation, Water Use Efficiency, and Compensatory Physiological Response by Zhitao Li, Zhen Liu, Jinyong Zhu, Weilu Wang, Chengwei Gao, Jiangpeng Qi, Xiaoqiang Qiu, Minmin Bao, Hongyu Luo, Yuanming Li, Yuhui Liu

“…WUE improved in woody plants (+7.81%) but declined in herbaceous crops (−9.44%), with notable increases in <i>Chenopodiaceae</i> (+59.39%) and <i>Malvaceae</i> (+11.35%). Mild drought stress (>65% field capacity) followed by short-term rewatering during early growth stages minimized CY losses (−19.60%) and WUE reduction (−6.89%), outperforming moderate or severe stress. …”

Melatonin improves drought tolerance in cowpea through growth modulation, antioxidant response, and ionic homeostasis, supporting sustainable agriculture by Ibtisam S H AL Khatri, Hamada E Ali, Mahmoud W Yaish

“…Under moderate drought, MT’s enhancement effect is less pronounced than in severe drought, as cowpeas can naturally sustain moderate drought stress. The results obtained from this study suggest that MT applications in cowpeas under severe drought primarily led to ionic adjustments and oxidative stress reduction and management by shifting the antioxidant response from superoxide detoxification to H _2 O _2 breakdown, thereby promoting stress tolerance through improved redox balance and reduced oxidative damage. …”
