Water extraction and root traits in Oryza sativa x Oryza glaberrima introgression lines under different soil moisture regimes

Drought is a major constraint to rainfed rice production in some parts of sub Saharan Africa (SSA) because of irregular and low rainfall. Improving root water uptake during progressive soil drying could contribute to terminal drought stress resistance. Two lysimeter experiments were conducted using...
