Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Phosphorus (P) stress is a global problem in maize production. Although macro/microarray technologies have greatly increased our general knowledge of maize responses to P stress, a greater understanding of the diversity of responses in maize genotypes is still needed. RESULTS: In this study, we first evaluated the tolerance to low P of 560 accessions under field conditions, and selected the low...
