A Study of the Role of Root Morphological Traits in Growth of Barley in Zinc-Deficient Soil

    Y. Genc, Chen Huang, Peter Langridge
    Studysummary This study found that the superior growth and higher zinc uptake of wild-type barley compared to its root-hairless mutant in zinc-deficient soil is mainly due to greater root surface area from root hairs.
