Development of a phenotyping platform for high throughput screening of nodal root angle in sorghum

Abstract Background In sorghum, the growth angle of nodal roots is a major component of root system architecture. It strongly influences the spatial distribution of roots of mature plants in the soil profile, which can impact drought adaptation. However, selection for nodal root angle in sorghum bre...
