Early vertical distribution of roots and its association with drought tolerance in tropical maize

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Selection for deep roots to improve drought tolerance of maize (Zea mays L.) requires presence of genetic variation and suitable screening methods. METHODS: We examined a diverse set of 33 tropical maize inbred lines that were grown in growth columns in the greenhouse up to the...
