<i>In silico</i> analysis of the evolution of root phenotypes during maize domestication in Neolithic soils of Tehuacán
2024-11-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Roots are essential for plant adaptation to changing environments, yet the role of roots in crop domestication remains unclear. This study examines the evolution of root phenotypes from teosinte to maize, a transition resulting in reduced nodal root number (NRN), multiseriate cortical sclerenchyma (MCS), and increased seminal root number (SRN). We reconstructed the root phenotypes of maize and te...
