Abstract
SUMMARY: Two bean genotypes differed in rate of root extension and elongation when grown under different soil water stresses in transparent tubes placed at an angle of 25°. Root intensity (the root length visible cm−2 of the viewing surface) gave a quick indication of the distribution of the total root length when screening cultivars for drought resistance.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
