Abstract excerpt
Demand for rice (Oryza sativa L.) is rapidly increasing in sub-Saharan Africa; however, its productivity is constrained by nutrient-poor paddy soils, particularly those deficient in N and P. Improving root system architecture offers potential to enhance nutrient uptake efficiency and increase yield under such conditions. This study aimed to identify the most effective root phenotype for enhancing grain yield...
