Large differences in water-seeking ability found in U.S. corn varieties
A study has identified key genetic pathways in corn that help its roots branch out to find water in soil; the varieties adapted to temperate regions like the U.S. corn belt showed large differences in their ability to branch toward water. The findings could help the development of more drought-resistant corn.
