Does root complexity affect the response of maize (Zea mays spp. mays) to abiotic stresses?
… and water acquisition, it is obvious that the root system of the maize plant is essential. Given the importance of the root system in plant performance, it is intuitive that differences in root characteristics would impact the performance of maize under water and nutrient limited conditions. …

Characterization of the effect of nitrogen deficiency on above-ground plant phenotypes in relation to root complexity in maize
… lower N pollution. It is well known that roots are responsible for N uptake by plants, but it is relatively unknown how root architecture affects this ability. This research was conducted to better understand the influence of root complexity (RC) in maize on a plant’s response to N stress …

High-throughput maize root phenotyping
The root system is important for plant adaptability to changing environments. Although the importance of the root system is well reported in the research literature there is still a considerable lack of knowledge with regard to the development of root systems per se, and how root system complexity …

Evaluation of phenotyping methods for maize
… been developed that allow for the measurement of root complexity, stalk diameter and root angle. The method used is direct imaging of the root structures under controlled diffuse lighting. The method as developed in this work, differs in that the lighting is not diffuse, but structured in the form …

Evaluation of additive and nonadditive genetic variation in elite maize germplasm for root, shoot, and ear characteristics
… use efficiency, disease resistance, stalk and root strength, as well as generally improved performance under a range of biotic and abiotic stresses. Ten proprietary and two public inbreds were evaluated with a generation means design emanating from the diallel cross of the 12 parents. Parental …
