Genetic analysis of seedling root traits reveals the association of root trait with other agronomic traits in maize

Abstract Background Root systems play important roles in crop growth and stress responses. Although genetic mechanism of root traits in maize (Zea mays L.) has been investigated in different mapping populations, root traits have rarely been utilized in breeding programs. Elucidation of the genetic b...
