Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Natural rainfed conditions present drought episodes interspersed with periods of moderate to high soil moisture levels. This study investigates the genetic variation in root-to-shoot growth in response to a wet-drought-wet cycle and aims to identify rice (Oryza sativa) lines differing in drought recovery, focusing on detailed root trait investigations. METHODS: In total, 100 different rice...
