Productivity, sustainability, and rainfall-use efficiency in Australian rainfed Mediterranean agricultural systems (2005, positive): “Earlier planting increases the effective duration of the growing season by better matching growth to the seasonal distribution of rainfall, reducing soil evaporation and increasing the transpiration efficiency of the crop by maximising growth when vapour pressure deficits are low in winter (Gregory ”
Evaluation of drought tolerance of some corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids in Iran. (2010, positive): “One of the main goals in breeding programs is selection of the best genotypes under drought stress conditions (Richards et al., 2002).”
Oxygen isotope enrichment (Δ18O) as a measure of time-averaged transpiration rate (2005, background): “Herzog, 2004), wheat (Condon and Hall, 1997; Richards et al., 2002; Condon et al., 2004), groundnut (Wright”
Dual-purpose cereals: Can the relative influences of management and environment on crop recovery and grain yield be dissected? (2011, neutral): “Rapid canopy closure reduces water lost to soil evaporation and allows more growth during winter when temperatures are cool and vapour pressure deficits are low (Richards et al. 2002; Dunin and Passioura 2006).”

Effect of Drought Stress during Grain Filling on Yield and Its Components, Gas Exchange Variables, and Some Physiological Traits of Wheat Cultivars (2015, background): “Richards et al. (2002) also reported that high harvest index under control treatment can be accompanied with high grain yield under water stress.”
Genotypic variation in seedling root architectural traits and implications for drought adaptation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (2008, background): “It is important to note that drought tolerance is a complex character resulting from the interaction of a host of root and shoot traits (Ludlow and Muchow 1990; Richards et al. 2002).”
Traits and selection strategies to improve root systems and water uptake in water-limited wheat crops. (2012, background): “A more complete discussion of the advantages of trait-based selection is found in Richards et al. (2002, 2010).”
Partitioning of assimilates to deeper roots is associated with cooler canopies and increased yield under drought in wheat (2010, background): “These limitations prompted researchers to find alternative traits and importanteffortshavebeenmadetobuildsolidmodelsforabiotic stressadaptation(Passioura1977;Richardsetal.2002;Reynolds andTuberosa2008).Severalmodelshavebeenusedsuccessfully as platforms in breeding ( Richards et al. 2002; Richards 2”
