Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Linear frequency of first-order laterals varied less along maize root axes than wheat axes.
- Observation Lateral root length varied among species, root types and parental-root positions.
- Mechanism Position-dependent length variation arose from elongation-period rather than elongation-rate differences.
- Association Under soil drying, lateral root length varied with duration of stress.
