Root‐mediated trade‐offs in nitrogen acquisition and utilization affect yield and grain composition in short‐stature corn

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Plant architectural traits play a critical role in shaping nitrogen (N) uptake, allocation, and overall performance in corn (Zea mays L.). Recently developed short‐stature corn hybrids exhibit enhanced belowground growth compared to conventional tall‐stature hybrids; however, how these traits influence N uptake, internal partitioning, grain ...
