Identification of root system architecture associated genes, regulatory network, and expression analysis under abiotic stress in maize.

expression modules suggest that Zm00001eb403030 (RTCL1) and auxin-associated regulators modulate post-embryonic root initiation and branching, and the current investigation outlines a stress-responsive maize RSA network and identifies targets for functional validation, genome editing, and breeding climate-resilient cultivars.
