Sentence examples for brace roots from inspiring English sources

Unbranched root segments were excised in lateral, seminal, crown and brace roots of maize, and in lateral roots of lupine.

We focus on genetic variation for growth angles of crown and brace roots among 108 inbred lines of maize in high and low nitrogen field environments in the USA and South Africa.

The post-embryonic root development started with the formation of the primary root (PR) and seminal scutellar roots (SSR) and then continued with the formation of adventitious crown roots (CR), brace roots (BR) and lateral roots (LR).

Wilson (1930) showed a positive relationship between resistance to lodging and number of brace roots of maize.

Too shallow a planting depth (<1.5 inches) may result in drying out of the seed, if extended dry conditions occur before and after planting (especially in tilled seed beds), and increased lodging because of poor brace root development.
