Harnessing the variability in root architecture and VsNGR gene expression for drought adaptation in common vetch.

Root system architecture (RSA) is a key determinant of drought adaptation, particularly in rainfed crops such as common vetch (Vicia sativa L.). This study evaluated RSA traits together with shoot and root biomass in seedlings of 27 vetch genotypes from six countries under control conditions and water stress induced by...
