“…Burton et al, (2013) reported that maize landraces have greater variation in root architectural traits and have longer nodal roots and larger xylem than related wild Zea species. Longer roots were shown to assist in the capture of mobile resources in the soil and are considered to be a primary determinant of drought tolerance in maize (Ribaut et al, 2009;Zhu et al, 2010). However, moderate water stress in the field, significantly increased root length.…”

“…Maize responds to drought stress by redirecting root growth and dry matter accumulation away from the shoot to the root (Ribaut et al, 2009, Sharp et al, 2004. In maize, this shift involves an increase in root cell wall extensibility that is mediated by increased levels of xyloglucan endotransglucosylases/ hydrolases and other cell wall-loosening factors at the root tip.…”

“…Of all the abiotic stresses that reduce crop productivity, drought is no doubt the most devastating one for stable production in developing countries (Ribaut et al 2009). Simultaneously, drought resistance in crops is probably the most difficult trait to understand (Ashraf 2010, Bruce et al 2002.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that external factors can affect root morphology and architecture and that root systems have an innate ability to respond and adapt to their rooting environment (Malamy, 2005). Additionally, many reports indicate that certain root qualities in crop plants can help enhance productivity in resource-limited environments due to improved nutrient and water scavenging abilities (Liao et al, 2001;Zhu et al, 2005;Ribaut et al, 2009). Identifying, evaluating, and selectively introducing both intrinsic and environmentally responsive root architectural characteristics into breeding programs may be a promising area for improving crop production on resource-limited agricultural systems (de Dorlodot et al, 2007).…”
