High-Throughput Root Network System Analysis for Low Phosphorus Tolerance in Maize at Seedling Stage

The root system is the important organ of a plant, helping to anchor the plant and take up nutrients from the soil. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the magnitude of the root network system (RNS) through phenotypic variability in a broad range of maize inbred lines. The GiA Root so...
