Reduced root cortical cell file number improves drought tolerance in maize.

Plant physiology - 1 Dec 2014

Chimungu Joseph G, Brown Kathleen M, Lynch Jonathan P

Abstract excerpt

We tested the hypothesis that reduced root cortical cell file number (CCFN) would improve drought tolerance in maize (Zea mays) by reducing the metabolic costs of soil exploration. Maize genotypes with contrasting CCFN were grown under well-watered and water-stressed conditions in greenhouse mesocosms and in the field in the United States and Malawi. CCFN ranged from six to 19 among maize genotypes. In mesocosms,...
