Genetic variation for root architectural traits in response to phosphorus deficiency in mungbean at the seedling stage
Root architectural traits of 153 mungbean genotypes were compared under optimum and low phosphorus (P) conditions
Abstract
Roots enable the plant to survive in the natural environment by providing anchorage and acquisition of water and nutrients. In this study, root architectural traits of 153 mungbean genotypes were compared under optimum and low phosphorus (P) conditions. Significant variations and medium to high heritability were observed for the root traits.
