QTL-By-Environment Interaction in the Response of Maize Root and Shoot Traits to Different Water Regimes

QTL-By-Environment Interaction in the Response of Maize Root and Shoot Traits to Different Water Regimes

Drought is a major abiotic stress factor limiting maize production, and elucidating the genetic control of root system architecture and plasticity to water-deficit stress is a crucial problem to improve drought adaptability. In this study, 13 root and shoot traits and genetic plasticity were evaluat...
