Physiological characteristics of cassava tolerance to prolonged drought in the tropics: implications for breeding cultivars adapted to seasonally dry and semiarid environments (2007, background): “Thus, it is beneficial to select for higher photosynthetic capacity, combined with other desirable plant traits such as longer leaf life (better leaf retention and duration, Lenis et al., 2006) and deeper and extensive fine root systems in order to enhance growth and yield in dry areas.”
Shovelomics: high throughput phenotyping of maize (Zea mays L.) root architecture in the field (2011, background): “2008), for the quantification of leaf retention in cassava to select towards desiccation tolerance (Lenis et al. 2006) and for root length of cucumbers (Walters and Wehner 1994).”
Cassava post-harvest physiological deterioration: From triggers to symptoms (2017, background): “Breeding programs have successfully generated cassava genotypes with improved performance in drought and disease-prone areas (Okogbenin et al., 2013; Lenis et al., 2006).”
