- Exogenous Salicylic Acid Improves Storage Root Yield of Drought‐Stressed Sweet Potato via Enhancing Antioxidant Efficiency (2026) · Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science · doi
ABSTRACT Although exogenous salicylic acid (SA) has the potential to assist sweet potatoes in coping with drought stress (DS), the specific effects on leaf antioxidant metabolism and storage root yield during the bulking stage remain poorly understood.
