Reduced frequency of lateral root branching improves N capture from low-N soils in maize.

Journal of experimental botany - 1 Apr 2015

Zhan Ai, Lynch Jonathan P

Abstract excerpt

Suboptimal nitrogen (N) availability is a primary constraint for crop production in developing countries, while in developed countries, intensive N fertilization is a primary economic, energy, and environmental cost for crop production. We tested the hypothesis that under low-N conditions, maize (Zea mays) lines with few but long (FL) lateral roots would have greater axial root elongation, deeper rooting, and...
