Bigger is better: Thicker maize brace roots are advantageous for both strength and nitrogen uptake.

A. Rasmussen, L. C. Erndwein, A. Stager, J. Reneau, E. E. Sparks

This study shows that larger maize brace roots are both stronger and more efficient at nitrogen uptake, contradicting the trade-off hypothesis.

Multiple brace root phenotypes promote anchorage and limit root lodging in maize

A. N. Hostetler, L. Erndwein, J. W. Reneau, A. Stager, H. G. Tanner, D. Cook, E. E. Sparks

This study quantifies brace root contributions to anchorage and root lodging in maize inbred lines and shows that plant architecture predicts these traits.

Maize brace roots provide stalk anchorage

J. W. Reneau, R. S. Khangura, A. Stager, L. C. Erndwein, T. Weldekidan, D. D. Cook, B. P. Dilkes, E. E. Sparks

This study shows that maize brace roots provide a rigid base for stalk anchorage, but their contribution to anchorage is not linearly related to flowering time.
