Root anatomical phenotypes present a promising yet underexploited avenue to deliver major improvements in yield and climate resilience of crops by improving water and nutrient uptake. For instance, the formation of root cortical aerenchyma (RCA) sign... Read More about Transcription factor bHLH121 regulates root cortical aerenchyma formation in maize.
