abstract = {Background and aimsImpact of drought on crop growth depends
on soil and root hydraulic properties that determine the
access of plant roots to soil water. Root hairs may increase
the accessible water pool but their effect depends on soil
hydraulic properties and adaptions of root systems to
drought. These adaptions are difficult to investigate in pot
experiments that focus on juvenile plants.MethodsA wild-type
and its root hairless mutant maize (Zea mays) were grown in
the field in loam and sand substrates during two growing
seasons with a large precipitation deficit. A comprehensive
dataset of soil and plant properties and monitored variables
were collected and interpreted using simulations with a
mechanistic root water uptake model.ResultsTotal crop water
use was similar in both soils and for both genotypes whereas
shoot biomass was larger for the wild type than for the
hairless mutant and did not differ between soils. Total
final root length was larger in sand than in loam but did
not differ between genotypes. Simulations showed that root
systems of both genotypes and in both soils extracted all
plant available soil water, which was similar for sand and
loam, at a potential rate. Leaf water potentials were
overestimated by the model, especially for the hairless
mutant in sand substrate because the water potential drop in
the rhizosphere was not considered.ConclusionsA direct
effect of root hairs on water uptake was not observed but
root hairs might influence leaf water potential dependent
