Cell Production and Expansion in the Primary Root of Maize in Response to Low-Nitrogen Stress

Maize plants respond to low-nitrogen stress by enhancing root elongation. The underlying physiological mechanism remains unknown. Seedlings of maize (Zea mays L., cv. Zhengdan 958) were grown in hydroponics with the control (4 mmol L−1) or low-nitrogen (40 μmol L−1) for 12 d, supplied as nitrate. Lo...
