Genomic regions responsible for seminal and crown root lengths identified by 2D & 3D root system image analysis

Abstract Background Genetic improvement of root system architecture is a promising approach for improved uptake of water and mineral nutrients distributed unevenly in the soil. To identify genomic regions associated with the length of different root types in rice, we quantified root system architect...
