The present invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying, selecting and/or producing a plant or germplasm having root increased drought tolerance and/or increased yield under non-drought conditions as compared to a control plant. A maize plant, part thereof and/or germplasm, including any progeny and/or seeds derived from a maize plant or germplasm identified, selected and/or produced by any of the methods of the present invention is also provided. La présente invention concerne des procédés et des compositions pour identifier, sélectionner et/ou produire une plante ou un plasma germinatif présentant une tolérance à la sécheresse améliorée des racines et/ou un rendement accru dans des conditions sans sécheresse en comparaison à une plante témoin. L'invention concerne également une plante de maïs, une de ses parties et/ou un plasma germinatif, y compris toute descendance et/ou semence dérivée d'une plante ou d'un plasma germinatif de maïs identifiée, sélectionnée et/ou produite par l'un quelconque des procédés de la présente invention.
