This discovery bodes well for American and global agriculture because the trait helps corn, wheat and barley grow deeper roots, which is important for drought tolerance, nitrogen efficiency and carbon sequestration, said Jonathan Lynch, distinguished professor in plant science. Breeding for this trait should be helpful in developing new crops for climate mitigation.
