Deep Rooting in Winter Wheat: Rooting Nodes of Deep Roots in Two Cultivars with Deep and Shallow Root Systems

Deep rooting of wheat has been suggested that it influences the tolerance to various environmental stresses. In this study, the nodes from which the deepest penetrated roots had emerged were examined in winter wheat. The wheat was grown in long tubes with or without mechanical stress and in large ro...
