Genome-wide association mapping in the global diversity set reveals new QTL controlling root system and related shoot variation in barley

The fibrous root system is a visible sign of ecological adaptation among barley natural populations. In the present study, we utilized rich barley diversity to dissect the genetic basis of root system variation and its link with shoot attributes under well-water and drought conditions. Genome-wide a...
