Putative Mechanisms of Drought Tolerance in Maize (Zea mays L.) via Root System Architecture Traits

A. M. M. Al-Naggar, M. M. Shafik & M. O. A. Elsheikh · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2019

Identifying maize genotypes with favorable root architecture traits for drought tolerance is prerequisite for initiating a successful breeding program for developing high yielding and drought tolerant varieties of maize. The aims of the present study were: (i) to identify drought...

The Effects of Genotype, Soil Water Deficit and Their Interaction on Agronomic, Physiologic and Yield Traits of Zea mays L.

A. M. M. Al-Naggar, M. M. Shafik & M. O. A. Elsheikh · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2018

The presence of genotypic differences in performances under soil water deficit would help plant breeders in initiating successful breeding programs to improve drought tolerance. The objectives of the present study were: (i) to assess the effects of genotype, water stress and thei...
