To understand the research hotspots and trends in the field of maize drought stress studies, this paper used 1 842 articles published between 1994 and 2023 from the Web of Science database as samples, and conducted a visual analysis of the publication output and keywords using CiteSpace software. The results showed that: (1) The development trend of this field from 1994 to 2023 can be divided into three stages: the embryonic period (1994-2007), the slow development period (2008-2015), and the explosive growth period (2016-2023), with the number of publications showing an exponential growth trend. (2) Keyword clustering analysis revealed that the keywords in this field formed 9 clusters, generating 6 research hotspots covering 3 aspects: biological phenotypes (yield characteristics, growth and development), physiological responses (oxidative stress, gene transcription, and water use efficiency), and mitigation measures (drought resistance). (3) Keyword burst analysis indicated that the research themes in the embryonic period focused on abscisic acid regulatory mechanisms, genetic traits, and yield characteristics; those in the slow development period centered on the improvement of maize drought tolerance under climate change; and the research themes in the explosive growth period were water use, gene expression, and the drought-resistant mechanism of salicylic acid. Overall, water use, gene expression, and the drought-resistant mechanism of salicylic acid in maize under drought stress may remain frontier research directions in the future. This study provides a reference for maize drought resistance research.
