Traits and selection strategies to improve root systems and water uptake in water-limited wheat crops. (2012, background): “In a study of modern and older wheat varieties in the sand over clay soils of Western Australia, Siddique et al. (1990) showed that the older varieties had more root dry matter and root length density in the top 40 cm of the soil profile, but there was no Downloaded from…”
Yield, transpiration efficiency, and water-use variations and their interrelationships in the sorghum reference collection (2011, background): “Indeed, most studies in different crops so far have relied on assessing rooting characteristics and not on the function of root systems (Siddique et al. 1990; Sanguineti et al. 1998; Kashiwagi et al. 2005).”
The role of root architectural traits in adaptation of wheat to water-limited environments. (2006, background): “), the desirable traits include the depth of rooting (Hurd 1974), root elongation rate (O’Brien 1979), root distribution at depth (Hurd 1968; O’Brien 1979; Manske and Vlek 2002), xylem vessel diameter (Richards and Passioura 1989), angle of seminal roots (Nakamoto and Oyanagi 1994), and root : shoot”
Physiological traits and cereal germplasm for sustainable agricultural systems (2007, background): “…of root system depths of genotypes with different dwarfing genes shows that, similar to earlier work with GA-insensitive Rht genes (e.g., Siddique et al., 1990), root extension is not inhibited by genes that can substantially reduce leaf, coleoptile or shoot extension (Watt and Ellis,…”
Genotypic variation in seedling root architectural traits and implications for drought adaptation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (2008, background): “matter ratio (Hurd 1968; O’Brien 1979; Richards and Passioura 1989; Siddique et al. 1990; Gregory 1994; Hoad et al. 2001; Manske and Vlek 2002; Manschadi et al. 2006).”
Cereal landraces for sustainable agriculture. A review (2010, background): “This has been shown to be more developed in wheat landraces than in high yielding elite germplasm, especially semidwarf varieties (Siddique et al., 1990; Waines and Ehdaie, 2007).”
Five decades of selection for yield reduced root length density and increased nitrogen uptake per unit root length in Australian wheat varieties (2016, background): “…from early breeding until the mid1980s reduced seasonal evapotranspiration in parallel with shorter cycles; mean daily evapotranspiration did not vary among varieties and soil evaporation accounted for by 40 % of the seasonal evapotranspiration irrespective of cultivar (Siddique et al. 1990b).”
Variation in root traits of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) grown under terminal drought (2004, result): “These values were also very low compared to the RLD of various cereal crops (Cooper et al., 1987; Siddique et al., 1990).”
Identifying traits to improve the nitrogen economy of wheat: Recent advances and future prospects (2009, background): “Differences amongst wheat genotypes in rooting depth have been reported (Siddique et al., 1990; Miralles et al., 1997) but there is little evidence that rooting depth has been changed systematically by breeding.”
