Reproductive resilience but not root architecture underpin yield improvement in maize

C. Messina, M. Cooper, D. McDonald, H. Poffenbarger, R. Clark, A. Salinas, Y. Fang, C. Gho, T. Tang, G. Graham

This study shows that yield improvement in maize is driven by reproductive resilience rather than changes in root architecture or water capture.
