Climate change in south-west Australia and north-west China: challenges and opportunities for crop production (2011, background): “is predicted to increase yields by 10–15% in south-west of Australia (Asseng et al. 2003).”
Water use efficiency in C3 cereals under Mediterranean conditions: a review of physiological aspects (2007, methodology): “According to estimations derived from simulation models, the reduction of soil evaporation by a higher SLA and early vigour seem to occur only in Mediterranean-type environments and when high nitrogen doses are applied (Asseng et al. 2003).”
Breeding for high water-use efficiency. (2004, background): “Also, simulation modelling of the impact of selecting for higher SLA in wheat indicates that maintaining N supply may be an important prerequisite for sustaining yield gains achieved via this trait (Asseng et al., 2003).”
Climate impact and adaptation to heat and drought stress of regional and global wheat production (2021, background): “Traits that benefit biomass during vegetative stage, in some situations (e.g. low rainfall and heavy soils) can result in reduced soil water during grain filling and lower yields (Asseng et al 2003, Bourgault et al 2020).”
