Breeding for increased nitrogen‐use efficiency: a review for wheat (T. aestivum L.) (2016, methodology): “Laboratory-based methods can be limited in their ability to reproduce field-like conditions (Passioura 2006, 2010, Poorter et al. 2012).”
Plant Responses to Salt Stress: Adaptive Mechanisms (2017, background): “Plant–water relations explain the behaviour of plants in terms of how they control the hydration of their cells, which has important implications in the physiological and metabolic processes that determine the quantity and quality of plant growth [113].”
Sifting and winnowing: Analysis of farmer field data for soybean in the US North-Central region (2018, background): “Another strength of the approach is that it screens for suites of ‘best’ management practices within the context of the current cropping system; hence, it is able to capture the continuous changes in management practices as a result of farmer innovation and adoption of new technologies and identify ”
The agronomic relevance of arbuscular mycorrhizas in the fertility of Australian extensive cropping systems (2012, background): “Passioura (2010) recently emphasized that successful scaling up of research from the laboratory or glasshouse to commercial application in the field will not occur unless researchers are aware of the constraints that arise at each level.”
GROWSCREEN-Rhizo is a novel phenotyping robot enabling simultaneous measurements of root and shoot growth for plants grown in soil-filled rhizotrons. (2012, background): “Selection for specific traits based on 27 integration of molecular-mechanistic knowledge with accurate measurements of plant 28 performance could be even more productive in breeding processes than conventional field 29 screening (Lynch 2007; Passioura 2010).”
Improving crop drought resistance with plant growth regulators and rhizobacteria: Mechanisms, applications, and perspectives (2021, background): “All research aiming to improve drought resistance and reduce yield loss in the field must ultimately be evaluated on farms (Passioura, 2007, 2010).”
