Roots withstanding their environment: exploiting root system architecture responses to abiotic stress to improve crop tolerance
To face future challenges in crop production dictated by global climate changes, breeders and plant researchers collaborate to develop productive crops that are able to withstand a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses. However, crop selection is often focused on shoot performance alone, as obse...
