Abstract
The dramatically increased use of nitrogen fertilizers and global warming raise concerns about environmental pollutions, crop production and future food security. The urgent need for new crops with higher nitrogen and water use efficiency in agricultural practices has been recognized. Root architecture is crucial for acquisition of water and nutrients from the soil; and the selection for specific root traits might be advantageous. In this study seedlings of seven maize inbred lines from a Southern-European breeding genepool were analysed for root morphological characteristics and response to nitrate....
