Significance at alpha equals 5, 2.5, and 1% respectively; ns: not significant. [RL, Total Root length (cm); RSA, root surface area (cm2); RAD, root average diameter (mm); RLD, root length density (cm/m3); RV, root volume (cm3); G × H, genotype by horizon]; Geno denotes Genotypes. Moisture levels were fully watered conditions, re-watered plants, and plants maintained at 40 and 25% of field capacity after 8 weeks after sowing.
