Screening Corn Hybrids for Cold Tolerance using Morphological Traits for Early-Season Seeding (2015, background): “Water uptake usually increases as RLPV increases, but only up to a given length, which is termed critical root length density (Gowda et al., 2011).”
Response Mechanism of Plants to Drought Stress (2021, background): “Developed roots can help plants to fully absorb and utilize the water stored in the soil so that plants can survive the drought period [19].”
Root traits contributing to plant productivity under drought (2013, background): “Several rice germplasm collections in genetic resources centers have been screened for root traits associated with drought tolerance and promising accessions have been identified as useful in breeding programs (Chang and Loresto, 1986; Henry et al., 2011).”
Rice Adaptation to Aerobic Soils: Physiological Considerations and Implications for Agronomy (2014, background): “Changes in assimilate partitioning under water limitation tend to favor the development of deep roots in rice (Gowda et al., 2011).”
