Assessment of Genotypic Variation in Root Architectural Traits of Maize (Zea mays L.) Using an Agar-based Phenotyping Platform
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world's most important cereal crops, and its productivity is strongly influenced by root system architecture (RSA), which determines the spatial exploration of soil for water and nutrients. However, phenotyping root traits remains challenging because most root development occurs belowg...
