Exploiting natural variation in crown root traits via genome-wide association studies in maize

Abstract Background Root system architecture (RSA), which is determined by the crown root angle (CRA), crown root diameter (CRD), and crown root number (CRN), is an important factor affecting the ability of plants to obtain nutrients and water from the soil. However, the genetic mechanisms regulatin...
