Maize can grow successfully in very different local conditions. An international study has now demonstrated the important role of the plant root system. The researchers analyzed more than 9,000 varieties in the study and were able to show that their roots varied considerably depending on how dry the location is where each variety was cultivated. They were also able to identify an important gene that plays a role in the plant s ability to adapt. This gene could be the key to developing varieties of maize that cope better with climate change.
