Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association The qLLRn-12 CSSL developed greater total root length under moisture fluctuation stress than the line without it.
- Mechanism Higher L-type lateral root production accounted for longer total root length.
- Mechanism Root plasticity was interpreted as maintaining soil water and nutrient uptake.
- Association The CSSL increased shoot dry matter production by 37% versus Nipponbare.
- Observation No other reported rice QTL in that region was related to lateral root production.
- Recommendation The authors propose using this putative QTL in marker-aided breeding for adaptation to fluctuating soil moisture.
