Barley root traits for improved subsoil exploration and resource capture

Subsoil physical characteristics are often limiting to root growth, one of the major reasons being high density soil. However, deeper and more efficient root systems could help to explore a larger soil volume and reduce the input of nitrogen fertilisers if roots make more use of the nitrogen at dept...
