Root anatomical phenes predict root penetration ability and biomechanical properties in maize (Zea Mays)

The ability of roots to penetrate hard soil is important for crop productivity but specific root phenes contributing to this ability are poorly understood. Root penetrability and biomechanical properties are likely to vary in the root system dependent on anatomical structure. No information is avail...
