Aerenchyma development in different root zones of maize genotypes under water limitation and different phosphorus nutrition

Root cortical aerenchyma (RCA) is suggested to reduce metabolic cost for root growth, but it might lower water uptake by plants. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of drought and phosphorus on the RCA development along the root axis and to elucidate its role in water stress toler...
