Proline-Mediated Drought Tolerance in the Barley (<i>Hordeum vulgare</i> L.) Isogenic Line Is Associated with Lateral Root Growth at the Early Seedling Stage

Proline-Mediated Drought Tolerance in the Barley (<i>Hordeum vulgare</i> L.) Isogenic Line Is Associated with Lateral Root Growth at the Early Seedling Stage

A vigorous root system in barley promotes water uptake from the soil under water-limited conditions. We investigated three spring barley genotypes with varying water stress responses using rhizoboxes at the seedling stage. The genotypes comprised two elite German cultivars, <i>Barke</i>...
