Root traits contributing to plant productivity under drought (2013, background): “…rice, and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), but have generally conferred advantages for plants growing under limited soil water in agricultural and natural systems (Ho et al., 2005; Schenk and Jackson, 2005; Hund et al., 2009; Lopes and Reynolds, 2010; Henry et al., 2011; but see Sun et al., 2011).”
Interactions between water and nitrogen in Australian cropping systems: physiological, agronomic, economic, breeding and modelling perspectives (2016, background): “Storage of labile carbohydrates involves apparent trade-offs with tillering, grain number, root growth and nitrogen uptake (vanHerwaarden et al. 1998;Dreccer et al. 2009, 2013; Lopes and Reynolds 2010).”
Root Phenotyping for Drought Tolerance: A Review (2018, methodology): “Cooler CT is also linked with deeper roots, [68] and higher grain yield [99].”
Evaluation of Drought Tolerance of Some Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Genotypes through Phenology, Growth, and Physiological Indices (2021, background): “Relatively lower Tc observed in DS plants indicates potential for absorbing higher soil moisture that assists plant to maintain optimal water status [81].”
Breeding for improved water productivity in temperate cereals: phenotyping, quantitative trait loci, markers and the selection environment (2010, background): “These traits are expected to be good indicators of which genotypes have deep roots in moist soil (OlivaresVillegas et al. 2007; Christopher et al. 2008; Lopes and Reynolds 2010).”
Drought Stress in Wheat during Flowering and Grain-filling Periods (2014, background): “Low canopy temperature is associated with the ability to extract water from deeper in the soil profile (Lopes and Reynolds, 2010).”
Wheat physiology: a review of recent developments (2011, background): “…temperature (r= –0.72 to –0.78 for the average of measurements on 5–7 days), and very strongly with GN (r= 0.97); it was postulated that differences in soil water extraction explained these associations, and later work with extremes from the population confirmed this (Lopes and Reynolds 2010).”
