Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The genetic architecture of RSA traits was dissected by GWAS and coexpression networks analysis in a maize association population. Root system architecture (RSA) is a crucial determinant of water and nutrient uptake efficiency in crops. However, the maize genetic architecture of RSA is still poorly understood due to the challenges in quantifying root traits and the lack of dense molecular markers....
