Establishment of maize seedlings when utilizing deep planting as an agricultural practice. Elongation of the roots (positive gravitropic and hydrotropic response) and mesocotyl allows the exploration of a wide area of soil by helping to forage water, which ultimately favors early seedling vigor (g: gravity; LenR: root length of 80 and 120 mm, ME: mesocotyl elongation of 5 mm and 10 mm).
