Abstract excerpt
The effect of drought on maize yield is of particular concern in the context of climate change and human population growth. However, the complexity of drought-response mechanisms makes the design of new drought-tolerant varieties a difficult task that would greatly benefit from a better understanding of the genotype-phenotype relationship. To provide novel insight into this relationship, we applied a systems...
