Characterizing Genetic Variation in Late, Deep Wheat Root Architecture to Improve Yield and Yield Stability under Terminal Water Stress

Characterizing Genetic Variation in Late, Deep Wheat Root Architecture to Improve Yield and Yield Stability under Terminal Water Stress

Root systems play an important role in crop performance particularly under rain fed conditions. Root architecture is key in determining the ability of crops to extract water at various soil depths. In many rain fed production regions, opportunities to improve yield through changes in management prac...
