Natural variation in ZmNAC087 contributes to total root length regulation in maize seedlings under salt stress
Abstract Soil salinity poses a significant challenge to crop growth and productivity, particularly affecting the root system, which is vital for water and nutrient uptake. To identify genetic factors that influence root elongation in stressful environments, we conducted a genome-wide association stu...
