Abstract excerpt
Aluminium (Al) toxicity is a potential constraint to maize productivity in acidic soils, primarily due to its inhibitory effect on root growth during its early establishment. In the present study, a hydroponic screening protocol was standardized using Modified Magnavaca-II solution at the seedling stage and applied to 250 tropical maize inbred lines. Five root traits-total root length (TRL), root surface area...
