Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb014120
• Gene Symbol: RTH3
• Gene Name: roothairless 3
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• RTH3 root response differences at high P indicated that the P application reduced the dependence of the plants on specific root traits to obtain nutrients.
• For the RTH3 mutant (without root hairs), maize growth will be facilitated by complementary functional traits (more intense root proliferation) in the nutrient-rich patch; functional compensation effects of root traits are expected to be repressed at high P supply in comparison to P deficiency.
• The root response ratio of RTH3 was greater than that of WT at low P, but could not completely compensate for the loss of root hairs.
• The disappearance of WT and RTH3 root response differences at high P indicated that the P application reduced the dependence of the plants on specific root traits to obtain nutrients.
• Maize lacking root hairs (RTH3) increased mycorrhizal colonization in P-limited soil to obtain more P.
