Characterization of Root and Shoot Traits in Wheat Cultivars with Putative Differences in Root System Size

Characterization of Root and Shoot Traits in Wheat Cultivars with Putative Differences in Root System Size

Root system size is a key trait for improving water and nitrogen uptake efficiency in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). This study aimed (i) to characterize the root system and shoot traits of five wheat cultivars with apparent differences in root system size; (ii) to evaluate whether the apparent diffe...
