Abstract:Root metaxylems are phenotypically diverse structures whose function is particularly important under drought stress. Significant research has dissected the genetic machinery underlying metaxylem phenotypes in dicots, but that of monocots are relatively underexplored. In maize (Zea mays), a robust pipeline integrated a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) of root metaxylem phenes under well‐watered and water‐stress conditions with a gene co‐expression network to prioritize the strongest gene candidates. We iden… Show more
