Traits and selection strategies to improve root systems and water uptake in water-limited wheat crops. (2012, background): “Minirhizotrons have been shown to over- and underestimate root length density depending on the species examined and installation angle (Bragg et al., 1983; Heeraman and Juma, 1993; Rytter and Rytter, 2011; Vamerali et al., 2012).”
The significance of lateral roots in phosphorus (P) acquisition of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) (2003, background): “Root growth is important for uptake of water and nutrients, storage of carbohydrates and synthesis of growth regulators (Heeraman and Juna, 1993).”
Variation in root traits of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) grown under terminal drought (2004, methodology): “Roots were extracted by a monolith method (Heeraman and Juma, 1993) with minor modifications from a 30 cm 20 cm area at 35 DAS—about 5–10 days before 50% flowering for most RILs.”
