Modelling diverse root density dynamics and deep nitrogen uptake—A simple approach (2009, background): “Monocots and some dicot species have their highest root length densities near the surface, as observed in winter wheat (Asseng et al. 1997; Xue et al. 2003; Zuo et al. 2006), grasses (Smit and Groenwold 2005; Thorup-Kristensen 2001) and cauliflower and spinach (Kage et al.”
Root length density and water uptake distributions of winter wheat under sub-irrigation (2006, background): “Most of studies were conducted under surface irrigation (Asseng et al., 1998; Chassot et al., 2001; Robertson et al., 1993; Xue et al., 2003).”
The role of root architectural traits in adaptation of wheat to water-limited environments. (2006, background): “Development of an extensive root network at depth in response to soil drying in surface layers has been reported as an important drought-adaptive root trait in many crop species (O’Toole and Bland 1987) including wheat (Hurd 1968; Asseng et al. 1998b; Manske and Vlek 2002; Xue et al. 2003).”
