• Traits and selection strategies to improve root systems and water uptake in water-limited wheat crops. (2012, background): “In another example of using shoot traits to manipulate root traits, selection programmes for high shoot vigour have resulted in lines with more vigorous early root growth (Watt et al., 2005; Liao et al., 2006).”
• Five decades of selection for yield reduced root length density and increased nitrogen uptake per unit root length in Australian wheat varieties (2016, methodology): “Instead, we found an overall reduction in root system size (RLD, root length, root biomass) and an increase in N uptake per unit root length which counteracted the smaller root system and effectively explained the increase in N uptake .”
