- PART OF A SPECIAL ISSUE ON MATCHING ROOTS TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT Arapid,controlled-environmentseedlingrootscreenforwheatcorrelateswellwith rooting depths at vegetative, but not reproductive, stages at two field sites (2013, methodology): “Genotypes were grown at field sites in 2006 and 2007 in south-east New South Wales, Australia, from May to December (Site 1, Gundibindyal; Site 2, Bethungra, described in Kirkegaard and Lilley, 2007).”
- Impact of subsoil water use on wheat yield (2007, methodology): “As wheat roots reach their maximum depth at or around anthesis (Gregory 2006; Kirkegaard and Lilley 2007), subsoil water will inevitably be used later in the season, most probably after anthesis, potentially increasing the expected efficiency of conversion to grain compared with that for total…”
- Modelling diverse root density dynamics and deep nitrogen uptake—A simple approach (2009, background): “2000) and has been shown in field trials to be applicable to both monocot and dicot crops (Kirkegaard and Lilley 2007; Smit and Groenwold 2005).”
- Physiological traits and cereal germplasm for sustainable agricultural systems (2007, background): “Assuming wheat roots grow 1 cm deeper each day between sowing and flowering (e.g., Kirkegaard and Lilley, 2006; Tennant and Hall, 2001) earlier sowing in mid-April may result in roots which are 30 cm deeper than for a standard mid-May sowing in eastern Australia.”
- Genetic Opportunities to Improve Cereal Root Systems for Dryland Agriculture (2008, background): “Wheat roots, on average, grow 1cm deeper per day in the fi eld from sowing to flowering (Kirkegaard and Lilley, 2007).”
