Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Indica genotypes showed significant genetic variability in root anatomy.
- Observation The stele-to-root diameter ratio had least variation, CV 6.51%.
- Observation Stele diameter, late meta-xylem diameter and number, and stele-to-root ratio had leptokurtic distributions.
- Observation All measured root traits were positively skewed.
- Recommendation The authors propose using root trait variability to improve drought tolerance or resource capture.
