Cross-species control of gravitropism and deep rooting by LAZY1 and DRO1 gene family

This inference chain synthesizes evidence that conserved genes such as DRO1 (in rice) and LAZY1 (in maize) regulate plant architecture traits including shoot gravitropism and deep rooting, affecting agronomic outcomes like yield. It integrates findings from rice and maize, showing both species utilize functionally related genes for gravity response and resource acquisition.
