Abstract

The present invention relates to crop breeding. More particularly, the present invention relates to targeted modification of root angle to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in maize. In one aspect, the invention provides recombinant maize exhibiting increased root angle by decreasing the function of the maize ZMCIPKgene. Methods of making the recombinant maize and various methods of plant selection and breeding are further provided.
