      abstract     = {The maize root system has been reshaped by indirect
                      selection during global adaptation to new agricultural
                      environments. In this study, we characterized the root
                      systems of more than 9,000 global maize accessions and its
                      wild relatives, defining the geographical signature and
                      genomic basis of variation in seminal root number. We
                      demonstrate that seminal root number has increased during
                      maize domestication followed by a decrease in response to
                      limited water availability in locally adapted varieties. By
                      combining environmental and phenotypic association analyses
                      with linkage mapping, we identified genes linking
                      environmental variation and seminal root number. Functional
                      characterization of the transcription factor ZmHb77 and in
                      silico root modeling provides evidence that reshaping root
                      system architecture by reducing the number of seminal roots
                      and promoting lateral root density is beneficial for the
                      resilience of maize seedlings to drought.},
