Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: GWAS identified 559 significant SNPs associated with the remodelling of the root architecture in response to salt, and 168 candidate genes were prioritized by integrating RNA-seq, DEG and WGCNA data. Salinity is a major environmental factor limiting crop growth and productivity. The root is the first plant organ to encounter salt stress, yet the effects of salinity on maize root development remain...
