Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Greater embryo size in a large and carefully phenotyped mapping population was genetically associated with a greater number of longer seminal roots to increase grain yield in droughted field environments. Breeding modification of root architecture is challenging in field environments owing to genetic and phenotypic complexity, and poor repeatability with root sampling. Seeds from a large mapping...
