Nodal root diameter and node number in maize (Zea mays L.) interact to influence plant growth under nitrogen stress

Abstract Under nitrogen limitation, plants increase resource allocation to root growth relative to shoot growth. The utility of various root architectural and anatomical phenotypes for nitrogen acquisition are not well understood. Nodal root number and root cross‐sectional area were evaluated in mai...
