Temporal and spatial profiling of root growth revealed novel response of maize roots under various nitrogen supplies in the field.
A challenge for Chinese agriculture is to limit the overapplication of nitrogen (N) without reducing grain yield. Roots take up N and participate in N assimilation, facilitating dry matter accumulation in grains. However, little is known about how the root system in soil profile responds to various...
