Genetic control of water and nitrate capture and their use efficiency in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.)

Genetic control of water and nitrate capture and their use efficiency in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.)

Robustness in lettuce, defined as the ability to produce stable yields across a wide range of environments, may be associated with below-ground traits such as water and nitrate capture. In lettuce, research on the role of root traits in resource acquisition has been rather limited. Exploring genetic...
