Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The mechanisms underlying rice root responses to drought during the early developmental stages are yet unknown. RESULTS: This study aimed to determine metabolic differences in IR64, a shallow-rooting, drought-susceptible genotype, and Azucena, a drought-tolerant and deep-rooting genotype under drought stress. The morphological evaluation revealed that Azucena might evade water stress by increasing the...
