Evaluation of maize root growth and genome-wide association studies of root traits in response to low nitrogen supply at seedling emergence

Evaluation of maize root growth and genome-wide association studies of root traits in response to low nitrogen supply at seedling emergence

Nitrogen (N) deficiency is one of the main factors limiting maize (Zea mays L.) productivity. Genetic improvement of root traits could improve nitrogen use efficiency. An association panel of 461 maize inbred lines was assayed for root growth at seedling emergence under high-nitrate (HN, 5 mmol L−1)...
