Genetic dissection of the root system architecture QTLome and its relationship with early shoot development, breeding and adaptation in durum wheat.

Abstract excerpt

Root system architecture (RSA), shoot architecture, and shoot-to-root biomass allocation are critical for optimizing crop water and nutrient capture and ultimately grain yield. Nevertheless, only a few studies adequately dissected the genetic basis of RSA and its relationship to shoot development. Herein, we dissected at a high level of details the RSA-shoot QTLome in a panel of 194 elite durum wheat (Triticum...
