• Root Morphology and Physiology in Relation to the Yield Formation of Rice (2012, background): “cultivars which showed a smaller grain-filling percentage exhibited a lower zeatin (Z) + zeatin riboside (ZR) content than check cultivars in roots and grains at the mid and late grain filling stages (Zhang et al. 2009c).”
• Effects on rice plant morphology and physiology of water and associated management practices of the system of rice intensification and their implications for crop performance (2011, background): “Zhang et al. (2009b) have also reported that higher grain yield in the ‘‘super’’ rice varieties (Liangyoupeijiu and Huaidao 9) was attributable to improved root and shoot growth, which contributed to the larger sink size (total number of spikelets).”
• Grain quality changes and responses to nitrogen fertilizer of japonica rice cultivars released in the Yangtze River Basin from the 1950s to 2000s (2015, background): “However, the improvement in root uptake did not keep pace with the large increase in carbon assimilation capacity of super rice as reflected by the decreased of root activity during grain filling [21], causing the dilution in protein content in the grain from the 1980s to 2000s.”
• Root plasticity as the key root trait for adaptation to various intensities of drought stress in rice (2011, unknown): “The root length has therefore been used frequently especially in many of field studies (Bernier et al. 2009; Haefele et al. 2008) although its measurement is tedious and time consuming as compared with other parameters like root dry weight ( Zhang et al. 2009 ).”
