Natural variation and domestication selection of ZmSULTR3;4 is associated with maize lateral root length in response to salt stress

Soil salinity is a major constraint that restricts crop productivity worldwide. Lateral roots (LRs) are important for water and nutrient acquisition, therefore understanding the genetic basis of natural variation in lateral root length (LRL) is of great agronomic relevance to improve salt tolerance...
